[meteorite-list] Meteorite main mass hunting with a blimp

[Meteorite-Hunting.com]

"...The team will use cameras and binoculars to look for burn patches on 
the ground..."

Really? I wonder why they would be looking for burn patches. They're not 
referring to burn patches caused by "flaming meteorites". Are they?

"...then direct ground crews to those locations to hunt for meteorite 
particles..."

Ummm.

This is just silly.

Regards,
Eric
