The kilo or so of meteorite might be worth more than the policy would cover anyway

Seanie,
You sound like someone who's ready and willing for such an even to happen. You'll be waiting a long time before such an event will ever occur here though.
However, mabey we can give mother nature a little hand.
I know some people who know some people....
Just name the time and the place and I'll see what I can arrange.
Now, do you want your house destroyed while you are inside the house or while you are away? A few serious facial and bodily injuries would make it look alot more genuine. It'd also help IFAS get some more public attention.
Ready to volunteer Seanie??
