Ranchers and other property owners in western Calaveras County and eastern San Joaquin County may soon be getting calls from a NASA scientist.
Marc Fries, a meteoriticist at Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, will be asking permission to search locally for fragments of a green fireball that people from Los Angeles to Merced reported seeing streaking through the sky around 2 a.m. on Dec. 27.
