There is an asteroid passing near earth soon and this may be a part of that which broke off. 
"Given that many asteroids have large boulders held by weak gravity and also these events close proximity, I'm speculating that 2012-DA14 could have many companion objects in its orbit, possibly from a prior collision. Obviously the public statements of no danger at all were less than accurate, although we know the large asteroid will not strike Earth. Its possible there are other unknown objects."
This article says it was not related to the asteroid

MSNBC said this is caused by old, tired Republican policies. President Obama will respond to the incident as soon as his work day begins.
