It’s believed that some of the rock debris fell to earth.

It's pretty amazing, but true. We can tell that some meteorites are from Mars, because of their chemical signature.

The Allen Hills meteorite, which was found in Antarctica in 1996, is probably the most famous example.

So some of these falling stars that we see and make wishes on could also be some of the debris.

It's entirely possible. They could also be debris from any number of other planetary encounters.

Our universe is such an amazing and wondrous place. I sometimes feel that we humans are like ants, perched upon the top of our anthill, gazing across the vastness of the back yard, and thinking we've got it all figured out :-)
