It's not clear to me that ancient smiths making blades out of meteoric iron were aware of the connection between streak of light in the sky phenomena and the iron/nickel stones they found on the ground and discovered to be suitable for making blades. Most meteoric iron probably fell long before it was used. For instance the Cape York meteorite used by the Inuit for making blades fell 10,000 years ago. That's many thousands of years before the Inuit are believed to be in Greenland.
