Add Thailand's Chiang Khan to the list. A fisherman was struck as
reported in the original abstract.
By the way, an absolutely superlative Chiang Khan specimen is being
offered in this weekend's auction at Heritage. It's so
extraordinarily well oriented it looks like an australite (flanged
button tektite) without the flange.
Check this out....

Hi Paul,
I can think of at least 3 off the top of my head. Of course,
Some people have strange Ideas about what "documented"
means:
1) The obvious: Sylacauga with a photo of the "victime"
Next to a medical Dr.
2) Mbali: a boy was struck in the arm after a small stone passed
Through a banana tree (slowing it down to a "safe" speed)
3) L'Aigle: A coachman was struck(among other things) in this
Thoroughly investigated fall.
Best wishes, Michael
“There were many letters in response to an interview about
the auction of
the Garza Stone, a meteorite that hit a house
in Park Forest, Ill., in 2003.
Listeners were quick to point
out that — contrary to what the organizer of
this auction
suggested — there is at least one documented case of a
personbeing hit by a falling rock from outer space.”
