A white light flare was observed at the limb on 16 August 1989 in He 10830 Å spectra, Hα slit jaw photo-grams, and white light filter-grams of ⋋=5600 Å ±800 Å. The kernels of the white light flare are not spatially related with Ha brightenings, suggesting that the flare energy would be released at the photosphere.
