A new way of hunting the Sutter's Mill 'main mass': " Scientists today are mounting a massive search in the Sierra Nevada foothills for meteorite fragments [...] Experts from NASA and the SETI institute are en route to Sacramento this morning aboard a zeppelin provided by Airship Ventures, based at Moffett Field in the Bay Area. They were expected to stop briefly at McClellan Park airfield around 11 a.m., then lift off again to spend the afternoon surveying foothill regions of Placer and El Dorado counties.
