Meteors enter the Earth's atmosphere all the time: most are so small that they burn-up in the atmosphere; if they're large enough to survive and hit the ground, they become "meteorites."
Meteorites are worth a lot of money and can be found anywhere. They will mostly be found in the desert areas in the USA, such as Arizona. Arizona is big and open, there are few trees, or things to interfere with them actually making it to the ground. Meteorites from an unnatural by earth geological transformation of earths landforms. However the small meteorites can leave little to no craters on earth. Making them hard to find on top of being very small.
Fun fact: the Earth gains about a million kilograms of mass per day
from meteors!
