Appears in the bible, so I suspect you'd have gotten in trouble for mocking the idea too loudly:
> And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.
It's hard to not believe in meteorites when your environment is desert or snowfields .. micro meteorites are a steady infall and people with sharp eye notice small black rocks appearing on previously clean sand and snow.
( If your routinely clean your gutters and pick through the silt with a strong magnet you'll likely find micro meteorites sooner or later )
The Global Fireball Observatory is an multi-institutional collaboration, with partner networks around the world. Our observatories take pictures of fireballs so we can recover any meteorites that might have landed on the ground.
