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:
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...

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.

Hi Everyone,
I'm attempting to create a comprehensive list of pop
cultural references in recent years in which meteorites
appear in a supporting or lead role. I'm primarily
looking at works of fiction but scientific references of the
pop cultural ilk will be similarly
welcome. Looking for films, TV, books,
etc.
Any input would be much appreciated.
Thanks so much, and wishing you a good weekend,
Darryl
