You just reminded me of a recent meteor Bud Light commercial Richard. I
thought you might know this one! ;-)

That's a pretty daunting task to set for oneself Darryl. I think the more
you look the more you'll find. Movies, TV shows, commercials, books, song
lyrics, comic books, video games... and that's just in the US...

I see people have already referenced 60's and 50's examples, even though you
said "recent".

There is the Gilligan's Island episode "Meet the Meteor" (Available for
viewing here:

A few years ago there was a commercial for a pickup truck that was hit by a
meteorite and drove away unharmed...

A band called "The Meteor Pilots"

and on and on...

You might want to put up a web form for people to offer titles. I think
you'll find many score, if not hundreds of them

Good luck.
