OK. Seth seems most correct. However, there are two definitions of meteor that seem relevant: the ball of rock (meteroid or meteorite) and the “shooting star” or fileball that it creates. Wouldn’t “meteoriticist only apply to the former?
It’d really depend on ones interest area in meteorites. For instance, composition study could be Astrominerology or Xenominerology to further distinguish its extraterrestrial interests within Minerology, or Xenobiology if (perpetually fruitlessly) investigating for signs of organic life and compounds. But just about everything up until impact would fall under a flavor of Physics, barring the chemistry of burning.
A meteoriticist. See meteoritics, meteoriticist.
..meteocre?
Sorry.
Asa Dotzler ?
Roxy.
Rock… see… geddit? :)
Astronomer?
Astrogeologists
Meteorologist
You’ve been watching Brianac haven’t you? :)
I would almost say ‘meteorite’, but that’s silly…
Meteorologist also sounded right, but those are the folks that precast the weather…
Astrobiologists :)

SCIENTIST
astrophysical/astrophysicist??
Hey you!
(tends to work for pretty much anyone) ;P
Geologist
Are you referring to the MIT Mystery Hunt joke last year about the meterologist?
Asheesh, I must have missed that joke.
A meteorologist is involved in weather though…
Asa Dotzler..hahaha (i’ve met him before but I see no sign on having interests on meteors..he’s interested in Ubuntu though)
You call him/her by his/her name ;-)
I’d call him a SPACE ROCKER…
Meteorer.
Chef Boyardee?
Gallians. They were always worried about the sky falling over him, so probably they studied meteors :P
No more joking. What about “meteorist”?
Really, I’d call hime someone who studies meteors. :-/ Do we need a name for everything?
Hi there!!! Signing your site… not bad at all!!! Simply and great!!! I wanna know your opinion about my :)
Very creative… May be you make new design for my sites?
I was just looking for that answer when I found this!!

So all in all I’d call them Rock Collectors.
