Small asteroid hit Earth as a meteor

A lot has happened since early October. I had a chance to speak to a few people involved in the discovery of the 2 meter asteroid that hit Earth as a meteor the next day. The story
at http://www.azstarnet.com/news/264185 is a good report of the event and the process.
I thought I knew Kowalski, the discoverer, but I don't. I confused his name with that of a colleague of mine. It was a little embarrasing as I went up my colleague and slapped him on the back saying, "Richard, how does it feel to be the person to first discover an asteroid that then hit the Earth?" He just smiled and told me it wasn't him and explained the difference between his name and the discoverer. Whoops!
