From
KPAX.com: "The Associated Press is reporting that the meteor that streaked across Montana early Tuesday morning landed in eastern Washington."
There are some government sites that offer additional information on meteors, meteorites, and other small bodies in the solar system:
World Book at NASA: Meteor
Asteroid and Comet Impact Hazards Program (note: this site includes video of the Peekskill Meteorite, which resembled a green streak of fire)
Meteors and meteor showers
The USGS Publications Warehouse lists several scientific reports related to meteors & meteorites.
Though not a government agency, the American Meteor Society (AMS) has a fireball monitoring program. The AMS site includes good background information on meteors.
