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...

There is the Gilligan's Island episode "Meet the Meteor" (Available for viewing here: http://www.thewb.com/shows/gilligans-island/meet-the-meteor/097e2c1d-3384-4e2c-b9d1-c98a4e193a82 ) A few years ago there was a commercial for a pickup truck that was hit by a meteorite and drove away unharmed... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_OtbXmu9kg A band called "The Meteor Pilots" and on and on...
