Ugggh the Caveman, probably.
Meteorites have been falling from the sky since before life existed; life may actually have come to Earth ON a meteorite. People have been finding meteorites since the first pre-humans thought to pick up a rock to use as a tool. It is meaningless to ask who was the first; if that person had a name, it is lost in pre-history.
People have been finding meteorites for as long as there have been people. We don't know which specific person, or even specific culture, in the stone age was the first person to find a meteorite.
Probably Uggghhhh the Caveman. Meteors have been falling from the sky since the formation of the Earth 4.5 billion years ago. They aren't REALLY common, but they were certainly seen by pre-humans and every version of human. They are actually fairly easy to see if you don't have a big problem with artificial light - which they didn't.
Meteors have been seen as long as humans have been here, so nobody could be said to have discovered them.

It's only been in the past two centuries that an astronomical origin for meteorites and meteors has been accepted. Thomas Jefferson once wrote that he would rather believe that Yankee scientists would lie, than that rocks could fall from the heavens.
Meteors have been known since antiquity; any person who looked up at night had a good chance of seeing one. Today, in our light-polluted skies, we rarely see REAL darkness, and we miss seeing most of the "falling stars" that our ancestors - or most modern farmers - saw.
It was only late in the 1700s that scientists figured out what meteors were, and President Thomas Jefferson was quoted as saying that he would sooner believe that a Yankee scientist would lie than that stones could fall from the heavens.
The first recorded meteorite was found in Ensisheim, France, in 1492. It was a 127 kg mass that fell from the sky.
Meteors have existed for billions of years and therefore who discovered them is not known. The first person to start studying them was Benjamin Sillman in the early 1800's.
the person who discovered the first meteor crater was Megan O'Donnell she found it in Peru!

Kind and location of a meteor?
The first time you go to meteor falls, you'll see Team Aqua/Magma (depends on version). They will take the meteor that Prf. Cosmo found, and then run off with it. The next time you see it will be at Mt. Chimney, where the Team will have some kind of plot you'll have to thwart. After you beat the enemy Team at Mt. Chimney, you can find the meteor in the weird machine they had (by the crater's edge, where you fought their boss). You can then take the meteor back to Prf. Cosmo, who'll give you a TM27 (Return) for it.
