A star consuming a rocky planet, perhaps one like Mercury or even Earth, could produce the same spherules if the same elements were present and a powerful stellar explosion could send them hurtling through space at a massive speed. If scientists know their exact composition, which it sounds like they do, they can recreate them to study them further. It seems like wishful thinking is clouding some judgment on this scientist's part.
