Extract from: "Note on a meteorite fallen at Lesves" written by Grégoire Fournier. (Annals of the Geological Society of Belgium, Volume 23, p.88)
"At about 7:30 in the morning, in a gray and cold weather, and between two drops of hailstones and water, at a time when it was no longer raining, a noise resembling a violent rolling of wagons was heard more than a hundred yards Where the meteorite fell, and a young man worked in the garden about ten meters from the place where he fell, comparing noise and whistling to those of several steam-powered railway trains. Heard from a distance, assimilated it to that which would be made by a house which would collapse and all the tiles of which would break."
