How fun to read part of the 1803 report! |

They heard something resembling the report of a cannon ball, then a double report more violent than the preceding one, which was followed by a rolling thunder lasting for about two minutes and which was accompanied by a whistling sound (...) The farmers were all very frightened (...) The largest stones had been hurled down so violently that they penetrated the soil to a depth of at least one foot. Their exteriors are black, their interiors grayish: there seems to be some sort of metal inside (Extract from Biot*s report to the Academy of Sciences in 1803). |
