That makes 5 witnessed falls for the small state of Connecticut;? America's
first documented fall, an H4?at Weston in 1807, the two Wethersfield L6 stones
that hit houses in 1971 and again in 1982, a single L6 stone that landed in a
street in Stratford in 1974, and now the house hitter at Wolcott.? Wonder what
the state rock should be?

Cheers,

Frank

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.
