Abstract
It is shown that the Earth is a natural collector of extraterrestrial nonsterile artefacts that could impact our planet. Artefacts from 1.2 × 106 nearby stars could have reached the Earth over its history, and could be agents for spontaneous interstellar panspermia, even if alien civilizations pollute space only at the current terrestrial rate.
