Also Tut possibly inherited meteoric iron dagger. Was originally gift from Mitanni or something

I didn't know that. Thanks!
There are also fulgurites, glass formed from sand vitrified by a lightning strike.

Sand, of course, is in plentiful supply in Egypt, and the absence of covering vegetation means that meteorites are easily visible, at least until the sand hides them. That lack of vegetation is also responsible for the relative ease in finding meteorites in Antarctica.

Thanks for that. I was trying to remember the kind of glass formed by natural vitrification, used in a scarab pendant, found in Tutankhamun's tomb.

Pity almost all the other pharaohs' tombs were looted. Hard to imagine the wonderful things that must have been in some of them.

Take a look at the article referenced in @Todd Feinman 's post. It's believed to have been caused by a meteorite's air burst.

Honestly, TTSA was just following in their footsteps.

Yeah, I mean, materials "recovered from flying saucers" have long been an important part of the lore. To be a real contactee, one needs to have at least one artifact from a flying saucer. Here's an extraterrestrial ring and a "staff" kindly given to Swedish contactee Gösta Carlsson. (And to protect himself from the "radiation"—or just to be on the safe side—he kept the items in a tin box marked "Dangerous".)

This is just the same story, with the same ingredients, taking place in a slightly different context. But just because you're a former intelligence officer (or a former rock star), the story you tell and the object you find don't become any more authentic than the artifacts shown to us by people like Carlsson.
