The falls you mention seem to be concentrated around the era in the Western 
hemisphere loosely called 'the Dark Ages.'  While I have no reason to doubt 
that the people involved died, possibly even by meteorite, I find it odd that 
so many fatalities happened within a relatively limited time span, and they 
were identified as 'death by meteorite'.  It wasn't until the 17- or 1800s that 
scientists even believed that rocks could fall from the sky.  I'd want more 
proof before I wrote up that CSI report!
 
Best!
