Hi Ruben,
We call other planetary ejecta meteorites, so....

Interesting question.
It's probably not a meteorite if you define a meteorite as a solid
piece of debris, from such sources as asteroids or comets, that
originates in outer space and survives its impact with the Earth's
surface.
However, maybe it's a "terrestrial" meteorite. I guess man made space
junk may fall into the same category since some of that can have
fusion crust and flow lines.

Suppose a fusion crusted stone is found shortly after a fireball. When
examined it shows a celestial age of a few million years and a relatively short
formation age. More examination shows it to be a stone formed on earth,
ejected into space and returned here. Is it meteorite or a meteorwrong. Or
something in between?
