The entire planet is, in a sense, stardust, if that's what you mean, as heavy elements are created in stars.

If you're talking about all life on Earth, then we're talking about several billion years, not millions. Maybe life on Earth originated elsewhere; maybe not.

If you mean just us, then, no. We have too much in common genetically with other life forms, and there's a fossil record showing much of the evolution of homo sapiens sapiens and our close relatives for that to be plausible.

Certainly, stardust, cosmic dust, mineral meteors, etc. fell to earth during the earliest formation of bacterial life. Some of them certainly, or probably, had an effect on the basic infrastructure of that bacteria, which eventually would grow into other forms of life.
I don't know if having stardust fall on your head means that you're now a alien, but to some degree all life on earth has been affected by it.

Another possibility that we or at least some of us, the descendants of Jesus Christ for sure, could be aliens. For how else could Mary have been impregnated other than being transported to a UFO? She never had sex with Joseph, the Bible tells us that. The memory of being transported to a UFO could have been erased from Mary's mind, or have been such a traumatic experience that her mind just couldn't accept it.
The descendants of Jesus would certainly have some alien DNA mixed in with their human DNA.

A theory, way out in left field, but stranger things have happened!

scientology preaches (to the high-ranking members) that millions of years ago, a huge prison spaceship full of the worse of the worse convicts, sent away by some advanced civilisation, to be lost forever in space, unluckily crashed on Earth.

so then the theory goes, their bodies died but not their spirits, and when intelligent (well...) beings appeared on Earth, their souls became parasites to our intelligence. as a result, any time we feel like doing something bad, it's not us, it's those bad alien souls.

so then in theory the high-ranking officials in scientology become able to free their fellow human beings from those evil spirits.

after all L Ron Hubbard was a sci-fi writer. I always thought that he made up that story, thinking that it was too big and that people would say, "hey great new fun idea in your latest book!". And then he was stunned to see that many people were ready to take this at face value. So he figured he had found a good way to make a living. For some reason no other sci-fi writer, including some much more popular than L Ron Hubbard, ever managed this.

There are many theories of why we exist as an intelligent species. The one I found most interesting to read was that there was a human like race from some distant location that settled in our solar system. They supposedly settled on Mars, being it was rather Earthlike at the time. Of course, Earth was a more desirable place, but due to it's heavier gravity and carnivorous and other dangerous creatures, it would have to wait. Eventually, some chosen ones made the jump here.
From that point either we're descendants of them, or we're descendents of a genetically modified slave race made to toil for our alien masters. We eventually rebelled. We were suppose to have been wiped out by a flood (Noah?), but a few were saved by one of the aliens, who protected us and taught us the ways of civilization. The rest of history of course.
Regardless how we came to exist, we no doubt share the same elements of all matter in the universe.

OK, two ways to answer.

First is the flippant way - you're touting the Scientology line.

Second is more about your details. Astronomers, astrophysicists, and biophysicists will tell you that yes, we are very literally made from startdust (not twinkle twinkle, but cosmic dust). They say that all matter originated at the Big Bang, and since matter is neither created (except at the BB) nor destroyed, we must be of that stuff.

Watch out! Time for the Big Bang naysayers to slime on in here!

We are all stardust. All the atoms heavier than hydrogen and helium were made by nuclear fusion reactions inside stars. These were scattered into space at the end of stars' lifetimes and aggregated due to gravitational effects into planets etc.

Ever heard of Scientology? Just watch the South Park episode and it'll explain it all.

I have heard that we could be from comets that've come in from outside the area of Pluto but I'm not exactly sure myself where we could've come from. I mean just for life to start AT ALL must have been a big thing because you need so much carbon and so much oxygen all in this long complicated order and a long chemical reaction.

In the sense that we're all made up of atoms that continue to exist then, theoretically, you could have atoms in you that used to be in a star or a meteor or even Elvis Presley.

I think that after a few generations, we cease to be aliens and become denizens of the planet.
