Meteorites show on radar, and are visible, if even as large as a grain

ONLY if the radar antenna happens to be pointed exactly in the right
direction at the few seconds before impact. That's a pretty tall order of
coincidence. Chances of seeing it on radar are slim, at best.

If it's coming at us from overhead, above the radar's beamheight, you'll
never see it at all no matter where the damned antenna is pointing. They
don't point UP, even at the airport!
