XMP files on MacBook Pro

On 3 of my 21 LRC imports, I notice a single XMP file showing up on my external SSD. I don't understand what it is, where it came from and why does it only appear on 3 of the imports. All images came from same camera, same sd card and imported the exact same way. 

This clip does not show my next 16 imports but the XMP file shows up like this in 2 more imports.

 Thank You.

    The XMP file is generally the sidecar file that accompanies a RAW file when edits are made.

    This might prove helpful.

      Just wondering why it's only in 2 imports. I have yet to do any editing. Still importing images and setting up folders. Not sure how or why it would be in there.

      TY
