Perhaps.

In order for it to occur if I am reading right, that satellite will have to be a giant magnet do dislodge it from its orbit. That would require much energy too.

ie electromagnetic

A missile will not make it change orbit.

Lack of humidity and rain also helps preserve the specimens. Many meteorites contain iron, which deteriorates in wet climates.

Scientists often can tell the difference between a meteorite and an Earth rock, but it's not easy for the untrained eye. Meteorites have a crusty, burnt shell, the result of a journey through the Earth's blistering atmosphere. Those that contain metal are attracted to magnets.
Still a long shot though. I think the electromagnetic qualities of planets and solar systems give off a greater presence than a mere spacecraft.

Iron also have very unique structural properties.

Magnets influence its structure too.

Iron has different properties on earth than in space.

Just possessing a piece of it would open a wide range of possibilities....
