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.

Metallic spheres are one of the easiest things to create naturally. We used the principle in shot towers throughout history to make bullets. I'm just an armchair expert, but it doesn't surprise me in the least we'd see near-perfect metallic spheres from a meteor burning up in the atmosphere.
