Another meteorite falls to Earth in Conn.

WATERBURY, Conn. (AP) — A strange rock found in the front yard of a Waterbury home appears to be a meteorite, a Yale mineralogist said Friday, marking the second time in a month that a meteorite has fallen to Earth in Connecticut.

Stefan Nicolescu, mineralogy collections manager at the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History, said it’s “highly likely” the meteorite found in Waterbury on Thursday is connected to the meteorite that landed on a house in Wolcott less than a mile away last month.
