What you are calling vaporization is simply the normal movement of unbound atoms into less crowded areas. Ice in the coldest climes "vaporizes" whether the Sun warms the surface or not, simply by the passage of air across the surface. Thus you can deposit a thin layer of metal by superheating it and conducting a gaseous vehicle over it that allows metal atoms to more easily lift and move to a different location. Hot lava boiling onto the surface of the Earth or into the sea loses much of itself in the form of dust or tiny particles too, but this DOES NOT OCCUR in the center of the Earth, where the opportunity does not arise. Likewise, the center of a meteor, whether heated or not, reacts to its immediate environment.

You have all these finites, lining up like steel soldiers, flanking your logic. Lets look at them one by one and see how easily they fall down.

1. Are you stating that your meteor, made of rock and metal, is more mobile than the air? You have a finite that air on your planet moves no faster than 240 mph. Says who? Says the humans who have not experienced a faster air flow, and lived to talk about it! Your winds are a factor of the pressures that create them, and the movement of air it takes to relieve the pressure! Plonk! One steel soldier down.
2. Are you having a meteor butting into a column of air miles high as it moves through the air, a total of 15 pounds per foot? Is this what your airplanes experience? Air is an immovable object? Object moving through the atmosphere pushes the air immediately in front of it into the vast areas to the side and BEHIND the meteor. A vacuum is being created behind the meteor, which air can rush into. Thud! Another steel soldier down.
3. How is air to become so compressed that it would equal hundred of pounds per square inch, when all around it is only 15 pounds per square foot? Is it catatonic? Is it dumbstruck and in shock? Does it have to ask permission? It MOVES! Whomp. Another steel soldier down.
4. You are assuming in this drama that the meteor does not slow down, and your atmosphere must adapt to this speed. Nevermind that ALL your experience with the normal motion of objects is to the contrary. When you fall into water, what happens? Your speed continues unabated? The water vaporizes? Boom, last steel soldier down.

Stop putting up barriers and just THINK about this for a minute, Chris. Tunguska was caused by a large volume of methane gas, from the same decomposing grasses that the mastodons ate when Siberia was positioned in a warmer latitude, prior to the last pole shift. Wet volcanic dust froze when this area became a polar region, trapping the methane gas. This is the same mechanism that is creating unexplained flashes in your atmosphere of late, which some witnesses take to be airplane explosions.
