No, not necessarily because of the bubble. My first "test" would involve a magnet. You didn't mention whether or not you've tested the sample's reaction to a magnet.
Best wishes and luck.

As MisterDan said - have you tried a magnet? At the link are instructions on how to test if a rock is from space.
Good luck

What classification of meteorites would you put it in? And what are the principal characteristics that lead you to think so?
