Other way around--typical visible meteors are pebbles.  To judge by the
Wikipedia article, inhumi meteors would probably reach the surface of
Blue, though too broken-up to make craters.

I agree that Jahlee is probably lying, though.  Most of the meteors Horn has
seen would be natural (unless the Blue-Green system is short of debris or
something).  I'd think inhumi meteors would be amazing fireballs in the visible
and infrared ranges, not little scratches (great word).
