(meteorobs) size/? length of typical meteor



Hi folks:

What is the size of a typical bright visual meteor? Say take the 
example of an brighter than -2 Leonids.
Since the theory goes that the green-yellow-orange-red correspond to 
result from ionization with element/ions from diff atmo height, can I 
infer that they are at least 50+ Km long? (what about the width of the 
column ?)
