Billions of years ago, in the chaotic early days of the solar system, small planetary bodies were forming, colliding & breaking apart.

 

One of these bodies grew large enough to melt internally, separating into layers, just like Earth, with a core, mantle, and crust. At some point, that asteroid suffered a catastrophic collision.

 

It's outer layers were stripped away & fragments of its iron core were blasted into space. One of those fragments would eventually become the Aletai meteorite.
