As I mentioned in another thread on this topic, I have assumed that this comet is a several kilometer wide dust ball sweeping through the asteroid belt. The chances of it hitting a 50 meter wide asteroid are small, but not that small. A fifty meter wide hunk of rock at a relative speed of five or ten kilometers a second would certainly be enough to eject a cloud that size.
