Hi Erik: If memory serves, the original reason that G. P. Kuiper proposed the existance of the [Edgeworth] Kuiper Belt was as a source of comets with relatively short period (under a hundred years or so?) comets.
So, if you believe that some meteorites ocme from comets, then these probably originated in the Kuiper Belt.
