I'm reading Paul Davies' "The Fifth Miracle". In chapter 6 it refers to the 1996 discovery by Taylor, Baggaley and Steel of inter-stellar dust particles entering the earth's atmosphere in the form of fast (> 70-km/s) meteors:

It got me wondering as to whether there are any candidates for meteorites which may be of extra-solar origin. Are there any? How would they be identified - a suspiciously long CRE age would perhaps be one indicator?
