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.”
