A meteorite could also be seen as a brightly lite up "shooting star", it doesn't just fall as a rock. Most meteors will have a melted side from the heat of re-entry.

Not technically. He's splitting fine hairs, but a meteorite does not become a meteorite until impact. So a soon-to-be-meteorite is still just a meteor while in flight and visible :rolleyes:
