< It varies somewhat depending upon the shape of the of
the falling meteoroid creating air resistance around it,
but is typically between 125 meters (410.10 feet) and
250 meters (820.20 feet) / second, when it impacts."

At the high end that is about the velocity of a 45
caliber ACP bullet. I may have to rethink my plans to
catch one during the next fall.
