Houndé, Burkina Faso
Fell 1989 June 14, 7:30 local time
Ordinary chondrite (L6)
A fist-sized stone (weight unknown) was seen to fall by farmers working in a field near to Pê, southwestern Burkina Faso. The chief of the village threw the stone away because it was thought to be a bad omen; later, however, geologists from Bureau of Mines and Geology of Burkina Faso in Ouagadougou managed to retrieve few fragments.
