or should it be Meteor, since it would not have hit the ground yet??

Given radioactive elements with space debris, I would count myself lucky not to have it break skin!

I have seen that the objects that get hit with meteorites sell for tens of thousands of dollers so if I get hit with one that means Im finally worth something.

I have the kind of luck where any meteorite near me would be plain ol' rock and covered with a new form of virus. Seems the Meteorite Men find some that are gem quality, so there are some pricey ones out there.
