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.
