A very small meteor hit the porch of my house in Utah shortly after we moved there in 2019. We heard a loud bang out the front door and when we went out to look we found about a ¾” crater perhaps a ¼” deep in the concrete of our porch. It was not were a bullet could have hit, as there was concrete balustrades on two sides that blocked any place such a bullet could have come from with sufficient velocity to leave a crater.

The meteor itself was not to be found. It seems to have been turned to the dust we found star splashed radiating away from the small crater.

I named it Crater Kathy in honor of LadySwordmaker.

It may have been an iron meteorite, even more rare and valuable, and it ricocheted off to the yard. Use a metal detector to try and locate it!........................................
