Does TCAS SPOT METERORITES
It would be instructive to know
I guess it would depend on the range of TCAS and the speed and density of the objects. I'm assuming that the plume/contrail from the meteors was at the edge of the atmosphere, therefore way higher than any commercial flying. Pretty impressive the way the sonic boom(s) had such force at ground level smashing windows and even doors

Does anyone know what action you should take if you get an RA with a meteorite??
But does the meteor get an RA too? (it's not a meteorite till it hits the ground). Perhaps this would be a good way to deflect the ones that might destroy the Earth

Imagine the pondering if a meatyoright DID show up
Some strange things have been turning up in the freezer sections at TESCO and many other supermarkets recently.

oh you funny guys...its a trick question...everyone knows a METEORITE is a meteor that has struck the earth.
now, the trick is prior to being a meteorite, it was a meteor, and I'm assuming a GLOSTER METEOR properly equipped IAW ICAO regulations with an operating 4096 mode c transponder
so, yes the tCAS will pick up the gloster meteor, but after it crashes into the earth, it won't.
oh you british...!
