I've read that most meteorites that come down like that are warm to the touch, not hot. You can walk right over and pick it up as soon as it hits the ground. Imagine that, from way out in space to in your hands in a matter of a minute or so.

But beware the ones that glow or ooze green goo, don't touch those.
