Contrary to what may be assumed, fallen meteorites are not hot; the heat caused by atmospheric friction abrades the outer layers, stripping away the heated portions, leaving the remaining portion as cold as they were while still in space. A free-falling meteorite spends less than thirty seconds in the atmosphere, which is not enough to heat it through. Touching a freshly-fallen meteor is more likely to cause frostbite than a burn.
