I also read that if you witnessed a fall and you were able to get there in time, you could pick it up and not get burnt...if you could find it!
Being in the cold depths of space the outer crust ablates entering earths atmosphere, and its only a very thin crust, the core would be cold....so heat isn't an issue (depending on the length it time it stayed in the atmospheric entry) . I'd love to test the theory!!
