I saw a hole in an elevator of a BAC 1-11 that was suggested could be a meteor until it was noticed the deformation was upwards. It was a bullet hole and the aircraft had flown to Belfast the day before. 1972 ish.

As an aside, I was in Miami for New Year 1998. There was a lot of gunfire at midnight in the area around the airport and several splashes in the hotel swimming pool. I wonder if any aircraft get damaged during these celebrations.
