Meh, there's plenty of naturally occurring things, that look 'artificial' to the human eye at first glance.

spoiler

etc

Some metallic spheres after entry of a meteoroid into earths atmosphere are not enough unless you explain how they couldn't have formed naturally.

My understanding is that metallic spherules from iron meteorites would be expected to include nickel. The absence of nickel in iron containing spherules like these would usually indicate a non-natural source i.e. human technology. The speed and trajectory of the meteor which may be the source, however, indicates an interstellar origin.

I believe that initial analyses of these spherules has revealed an absence of nickel.

The spherules were recovered from areas in the expected debris zone; none were recovered from the surrounding, control zones.
