From the news article:
"The team will use cameras and binoculars to look for burn patches on the
ground, then direct ground crews to those locations to hunt for meteorite
particles. The search is expected to continue on Friday."
Really, burn patches? That's a little silly.

Subject: [meteorite-list] Meteorite main mass hunting with a blimp
Watch out for the blimp !
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. "
