A meteorite has hit another house in Connecticut just 19 days after one
landed on a home in Wolcott. The meteorite crashed through a gutter and
landed on Jay Langlois' lawn on Red Maple Lane in Waterbury. It was
found still intact. It is about the same shape and size of an avocado,
weighs 1.6 pounds and measures 2 inches by 2.5 inches by 4 inches.
Langlois contacted the same Yale expert who confirmed the meteorite that
crashed through a house in Wolcott on April 19. Dr. Stefan Nicolescu,
the collections manager for the Mineralogy Division at the Yale Peabody
Museum, confirmed a meteorite landed on Langlois' home. According to
Nicolescu, the Waterbury meteorite is likely related to the one in
Wolcott. It was found miles away from where the Wolcott meteorite
landed. He hopes to run additional tests of the two.
