EVERY METEOR IS FROM ANOTHER STAR..................

Nope

Most are from the asteroid belt, some rare ones came from impacts on Mars, less rare from impacts on the Moon, comets and their debris are from the Kuiper Belt.

The meteor Loeb is investigation was tracked at a velocity and vector which indicates it came from outside the solar system, and those are probably the rarest of all.

Is the Kuiper Belt the same as the Ort Cloud, or is the Ort Cloud an additional source for comets?
