If that is really from another system we need a probe for data ASAP. Somebody tell the scientists at your space program of choice. And all the other space programs.
Also, to see if comets from other systems are indeed potential vectors for planet destroying life forms, as terrible movies would tell us they are.

Dropping magnitude?
It's been and gone. It's harvested our DNA, kidnapped a few drunken hicks, then flown on back to wherever.
Oh sweet meteor of death
Fall upon us.
Deliver us in fire

Probably not.
To put it quite simply, the trajectories of such bodies make them hard to intercept and often need specific mission profiles and equipment designed for the rendezvous just to have a chance. And we don't have one ready right now to do the job.
