Howdy all

        The guys and gals at the Galactic Analytics shop have been wringing our brains out over the Wolcott CT event, which was by all accounts a meteorite fall. A meteorite has been recovered from a home after striking the roof on the night of 19 Apr (20 Apr UTC). We have examined all the available evidence - seismometer, radar, eyewitness accounts, etc., and the data set is quite sparse. Nonetheless we at least have a bolide direction to offer on the web page. That should help guide a ground search, and hopefully lead to more meteorites recovered from this event - the first meteorite fall in the US in 2013.
