no... the word "meteor" implies a body of mass (predominately metal), entering the earths atmosphere and making it to the ground which requires a certain mass and certain velocity... and obviously couldn't "bounce" off someones hand while having enough energy to create a "one foot crater" in the ground.
i cant take a metal jacketed "pea sized" 9mm bullet and fire it into the ground at 500-600 feet per second and its obviously not going have the energy required to make a "one foot crater". its not exactly advanced physics.
what i didn't believe is how someone could be honestly curious how a piece of metal ore traveling at upwards of 2000 feet per second is going to "bounce" off a human hand
