Well, that raises interesting question – how well are we prepared for possible impact (however unlikely) of inter- stellar rock travelling at very high speed. It also raises the question if some of the past impacts were of massive body of Solar System origin or much less massive and faster meteors of inter-stellar origin. Because such meteor are travelling at high (unknown) speed the outer planets would provide much less protection against the Earth impact then they provide for bodies of Solar System origin
