The Alais meteorite contains organic compounds.

Notes on verification

Multiple independent academic sources (Springer, Nature Communications Chemistry, Wiley/Meteoritics and Planetary Science, David Darling's encyclopedia) confirm Berzelius's 1834 extraction of carbonaceous/organic compounds from the Alais meteorite, one of the earliest documented cases of extraterrestrial organic matter.
