Here's something called a "sky stone," which is made mostly of oxygen (giving it its blue color).  Some of these were found by various tribal chieftans in Africa, who told the people he gave it to that it "fell from the sky".

I've heard of these things. I think most likely they are a hoax put on by the people selling them for hundreds of dollars for a pebble. There is no independent lab analysis to verify the frankly bizarre claims they've made about these rocks. And the story has no proof behind it either except that the family apparently owned mineral rights in some place in Africa, and that's about it.

Yeah, it's debated what this stuff is.  Not sure about the video, as he seems to be wearing gloves (which suggests it may be cold, i.e. frozen oxygen?).  Not sure.  Of course, the trival chieftan reportedly said that it came from these creatures that lived in the sky and who were frozne for their crimes.

And as a side note, the temperature of the Dark Side of the moon is -380 degrees F; the Light Side is supposedly 260 degrees F.  Two more reasons we did not go to the moon.  I do not believe the NASA craft could have withstood those temperatures; and the space suits did not have sufficient coolant systems for the Light Side temperatures.

Of course not.  Can you imagine the HVAC systems that would be required to keep them alive in those extreme conditions … and the power that would require?  To say nothing of their suits.
