But a meteorite big and dense enough to survive atmospheric entry -- say, the size of luggage -- would shatter 20 miles up and the resultant shards would cool the last nine miles or so and feel lukewarm by the time they hit.
A 10 μm diameter particle decelerating in the Earth's atmosphere during a normal incidence entry experiences a peak pressure of ~10 N/m2 (Brownlee, 1985), but much larger CP IDPs survive atmospheric entry intact only to break up on impact collection.

Although this amount of material would represent a significant source of organic carbon in the prebiotic environment if it all survived and accumulated, most of the cometary and meteoritic infall surviving atmospheric entry would presumably fall into oceans.
The concern about the on-ground risk caused by spacecraft fragments surviving atmospheric re-entry has significantly grown during the past decade, resulting in numerous activities of the space community like re-entry simulation tool development, improvement, and validation, as well as research for design-for-demise (D4D).
The resulting N2 atmospheres may have been too thin to survive the atmospheric erosion effects that Titan has withstood.
It was undertaken in order to make rough estimates of the temperatures under which amino acids can survive during atmospheric entry heating of organics-bearing space bodies in oxygen-free atmosphere.
And thin-skinned missiles, laden with highly explosive fuel and laboring to escape the Earth's gravity, are fragile compared with hardened warheads meant to survive fiery atmospheric re-entry.
Scientists believe that cometary meteoroids (such as the Leonids) are not structurally strong enough to survive their atmospheric flight and as such they cannot reach the surface of the Earth to become a meteorite.
Fortunately for us, the atmosphere disintegrates most of these asteroids, which are fairly small, due to friction; but larger rocks that would create local destruction would survive the atmospheric entry and they strike, on average, every 2000 to 3000 years.
Some gravity waves survive middle-atmospheric filtering as they propagate upward to the mesopause region and disturb the nightglow emission layer near 90 km AMSL, making the waves visible to both ground and space sensors.
Solar Ne implanted into deeper layer of MMs with mass fractionation favoring heavier isotopes can be retained more tightly, survived from atmospheric entry heating, than the lower energy SW-Ne implanted into the shallower layer.
