It was probably Rodan flying off course. You don’t want to have a direct hit by Rodan. It would not be survivable.

Something oily dressed up in red, white and blue… Any politicians missing?
My personal opinion is it might be a hobby RC or a drone. As those are engine powered and could likely be the source of oil. Maybe a hobbyist got a little too close for comfort?

Would the autoland have a chance to activate and configure for landing that close to the runway?
Most RC aircraft and drones are battery powered nowadays. There are turbine powered RC aircraft that use liquid fuel, but they are not that common due to the expense of these models.
That was very close to a center strike. Most likely an RC/Drone didn’t make it home. Very surprised that no FOD entered the engine or impacted the V-tail.
