At 37,000 feet, and 170 miles off the Egyptian coast? You’re talking a warship for a launching system as missiles that can get that high aren’t even vaguely man-portable. Most of them weigh about 1500lbs or more and are in the vicinity of 15-20 feet long.

My guess is another altimeter bomb. This one set for re-entry into a pressure zone.

Or in other words ISIS improving upon their design.
