Abstract
We consider the motion of a number of known meteor bodies in the Earth’s atmosphere and their fall out in the form of meteorites on the Earth’s surface. Various mechanisms of their destruction in the atmosphere are explored within the framework of the extended theory of meteor physics. For some of them, the proposed hypothetical model of the formation of the surface relief of falling meteoroids and, accordingly, their fallen remains was tested, which turned out to correspond to the real structure of the surfaces of the meteorites found—smooth in some cases and dotted with irregularities in the form of rhegmaglypts in others.
