Yale scientists confirm rock that hit Wolcott house was meteorite, might
have caused Friday 'boom'

WOLCOTT ? A rock that caused damage to a Wolcott home over the weekend has
been confirmed by the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History as a meteorite.

Peabody spokeswoman Melanie Brigockas said it was determined to be "one of
the most common types of meteorites," ordinary chondrite.

The meteorite has a thin, black crust from burning as it entered the Earth's
atmosphere, and a light grey interior, according to a Peabody release.

Larry Beck called the Police Department Saturday morning to report that a
rock crashed through his roof Friday night.
Although it had not been confirmed as such, ?all indications say that it is
probably a meteorite,? said Police Chief Edward Stephens earlier Tuesday. He
said, after comparing pictures of actual meteorites to the rock in question,
?it does appear to be a meteorite.?
