No. It would be taken from you by the U.S. Army's Men in Black Division.

I figure there'll be a bunch of 3 letter agencies trying to get their grimey hands on it. I'd probably haul it around like Joe Dirt did for a few days until I decide who I wanna go into partnership with

Space Law is a real thing.

What is Space Law? - Becoming a Space Lawyer

Does the United States own the moon? Have you ever wondered if there are laws about space? Space law is the body of laws, agreements, and treaties that govern outer space. Worldwide leaders must grapple with how to regulate activity in space. Space law covers issues like rules for exploration...

You’ll get compensated for damages done to your property. But the government would seize that quicker than a pornstar signing up for an anal scene.

If you’re lucky, you might get to request a warrant before they come on your property. But they would probably issue probable cause.

You own all rights down and above to the heavens. It's yours. It's the first thing they teach you to get your real estate licence.

The story of ann hodges who was hit by an asteroid, any one read it?? The rock was confiscated befor being returned to her. Maybe because it was found useless

More realistically is what if SpaceX captured and mined an asteroid of all the rare earth minerals and sent them home. Like gold, platinum, iridium etc. It would alter the world economy pretty quick. This has been posited by musk before i believe and is not as far fetched as some would like to believe.

Interesting.. I think its absolutely possible, wouldn't surprise me if we didn't already have this technology ready... So send multiple mining drones to land on an asteroid passing by earth

There was a show on TV a couple of years ago about two dudes going around the country searching for meteor fragments. There was good money in what they found. Many people or organizations wanted to buy them. My guess is that it would depend on the circumstances and size of the meteor whether the Govt would confiscate it. You can bet if something the size of a football came crashing down on your property it would make such a noise that many gov't agencies would appear. Something that size would be worth a lot of money.
