As early as 1893, the Australian geologist Victor Franz Paul Streich (? – 1905) suggested in a private letter to the German geologist Alfred Wilhelm Stelzner that the tektites of Australia had an extraterrestrial origin. See:

Verslagen van de Gewone Vergaderingen der Wisen Natuurkundige Afdeeling (Koninklijke Akademie van Wetenschappen te Amsterdam) [Reports of the Ordinary Sessions of the Mathematical and Physical Section (Royal Academy of Sciences at Amsterdam)] (in Dutch). 5: 421–425. From p. 423: "Daar hiermede de aardsche bronnen voor deze lichamen uitgeput zijn, blijft er, volgens spreker, neits anders over dan aan te nemen, dat ze van buitenaardschen oorsprong zijn. … De eenige mogelijkheid is daarom, volgens spreker, dat die lichamen uitgeworpen zijn door de vulkanen van de maan." (Since earthly sources for these bodies are thereby exhausted, there remains, according to the speaker [viz, Verbeek], nothing else but to assume that they are of extraterrestrial origin. … The only possibility is therefore, according to the speaker, that these bodies have been ejected by the volcanoes of the moon.)

Vienna, Austria: 193–382. p. 194: Als gemeinschaftlichen Namen für die ganze Gruppe habe ich nach der Eigenschaft der Körper, welche im Gegensatze zu den übrigen Meteoriten gänzlich durchgeschmolzene Massen sind, die Bezeichnung "Tektite" gewählt. (τήχειν, schmelzen von Metallen und anderen harten Massen; τήχτος, geschmolzen). [As a collective name for the whole group, I have chosen – in accordance with the property of these bodies, which, in contrast to the usual meteorites, are completely melted masses – the designation "tektite". (τήχειν, melt (of metals and other hard masses; τήχτος, molten).]
