Hate to be pedantic but...a bit of rock in space is called a meteoroid. When one falls through a planetary atmosphere and burns up in a fireball, it's called a meteor. The ones that land are called meteorites.
So meteors do not, in fact, land in craters. Meteorites that fall over land do (as @Voxera pointed out, water landings are a thing.)
Meteors always land in craters.
