Funnily enough the Tic-Tac description looks quite close to the fictional "Droplet" in Liu Cixin's 3 body problem. This is fiction so the author might have been influenced by this event.
In the unlikely even that this was an alien object, the fact that it resembles something out of fiction is irrelevant.
I think the OP intended the inverse - that the fictional story was inspired by the description of the real life object.
