Meteorite

"There's a meteorite that hit the ground near here. I want to check it out. It won't take long."

- Luke Skywalker, to Han Solo

A meteorite was an object that fell onto a planetary surface from space. Commander Luke Skywalker believed that a meteorite crashed near Echo Base on the ice planet Hoth, but in reality it was an Imperial probe droid.
