Folks:

Several links to today's news items which give more information:

Reuters
http://dailynews.yahoo.com/htx/nm/20010723/sc/life_sightings_dc_3.html

Associated Press
http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20010724/us/meteor_showers_5.html

CNN
http://www.cnn.com/2001/US/07/23/flash.boom/index.html

The CNN report seems to be the most authoritative, and one witness's
account of the colors in the Reuters story seems a classic: 
"The object emitted a lustrous rainbow of colors, ranging from bright yellow 
on its downward-pointing flared end to light green and finally rust-colored 
red at the upward-pointing tapered end."
