Check your homeowners policy, YMMV . . .

MULTIPLE Meteorite strikes in Connecticut.

> The Hartford Courant ruminated “Why should Wethersfield, not particularly famous for anything but onions, have two houses hit by meteorites in such a brief period, when only 11 buildings are known to have been hit anywhere in the world in the past 135 years?”

Depends on the type of meteorite: chondrite(stony), iron, and any nickel mixed in. The price varies from 50 cents a gram to $1000 a gram.

Obviously insurance will cover the damages but they could be in for a nice bonus few will ever get.
