TigerNut writes "The Calgary Herald this morning reported on a meteor that was seen over three provinces last night, and is assumed to have impacted in Saskatchewan. It is estimated to have been "the size of a kitchen sink", as reported here"
In my home town when I was little the house up the street got hit my a meteorite. Ten years eariler another house on the same street (but almost a mile away) was hit by a similarly sized meteorite. There are pictures of the second one online, and you can go see them at the Yale Peabody museum.
I wouldn't be surprised if insurance agencies specifically added meteorite clauses to their policies around there after that.
A google search for "wethersfield meteorite" turns up lots of interesting articles about them.
