Hi Frank and all,
I was going to post that page but you beat me to it. While there is
controversy on the Pasamonte fireball, I believe it is the actual photo
of the meteor in flight and at the time of it entering into slower than
sound flight as posted on David Weir's page.
The UNW page refers to it as a meteor photo, Link here:

Also Nininger who was the the first to talk to Brown states it was a
meteor in flight from Browns details. (first class information). Link
here:

(maybe this has been posted already).
I am sure there will be continued controversy on this meteor photo.

Quoting Frank Cressy <[email protected]>:
Hi Shawn and all,
David Weir has a link to the Pasamonte meteorite that you may have missed. A
link to his site follows:

I might add that Nininger was of the opinion that Brown's photo was of the
actual meteor in flight and published in 1934 a somewhat lengthy
account of it. The paper is titled "The Great Meteor of March 24,
1933." It was published in
"Popular Astronomy" (Vol. XLII, no. 6, pp. 291-306).
All the best,
Frank
