The Uden was a witnessed fall in the southern Dutch province of Noord Brabant. The fall occurred on June 12, 1840, between 10 and 11 am local time. Witnesses heard a whizzing sound and a loud "thunder" (sonic boom). At a place called Staartje, near the village of Uden, an object impacted with a "thud" on a sandy fieldroad, throwing up a cloud of dust and causing a shallow impact pit in the event.
