Album des Pavillons [pay] shows a proportion of 2:3 and a very small star (“diameter” of the star = 1/4th of the hoist length. DK Pocket Book [udk97] shows the same picture. The flag was adopted 4 August 1984.

In page BU 2.1 (Burkina Faso) of [pay00], Fig 1., the national flag construction details are unfinished. As far as I have seen, the size of the star is not very well defined nor “stabilized”.
Zeljko Heimer, 11 Jan 2001

According to my own measurements of the image provided by [pay00], the star should be inscribed in a circle of diameter 3/10th of the flag height.

I do have Burkina law of 02 08 1984 which does not states the size of star I have also a letter of French Attaché dated 12 10 84 with caracteristics of the flag as received from the Great Chancery of the National Order:

Les distances de haut en bas d'une pointe à l'autre sont égales au 1/3 de la largeur du drapeau
(distances from top to base of one point to another are equal to 1/3rd of width of flag).
Armand du Payrat, 17 Apr 2001

In August 1984 there was a coup and a new flag and emblem were adopted. The new flag is in the pan-African colours, reflecting both a break with the country’s colonial past and its unity with other African ex-colonies. The red is also said to symbolize the revolution and the green the abundance of natural riches. The yellow star placed over the red and green stripes is the guiding light of the revolution.
Ivan Sache, 26 Dec 1999, quoting from [udk97]

New flag I believe that was a personal decision of pro-soviet president Sankara, perhaps under Vietcong inspiration (this is a personal observation). Flag was adopted 4 August 1984, first anniversary of the people’s democratic revolution (Sankara coup). According comunication of the Comité de Defense de la Revolution to Lucien Philippe en August 1984, the red is the symbol of the revolutionary strugle, the green is for agriculture, abundance and hope; and yellow is for countries riches. Its five points symbolize the guidance of the revolution.

A strange flag with proportions 1:4 or 1:5 is shown on every page of the official governmental site
