Kilometers per hour, most likely. I saw another figure for 10 km/sec, which checks out.
It might sound high, but this is part for the course for those objects. Keep in mind Earth's orbital velocity is about 30 km/s.
I was not really worried about the actual speed more about the fact that they did not state waht measure they were using yet that the numbers are so exact. It reeks of comms to me.
