The report, as filed
Le 28 avril 2008 vers 4h 10 un témoin entend un bruit sourd et roulant venant du Nord-Est. Ce bruit se transforme en un bruit de tonnerre qui perdure durant 5 à 6 secondes en passant au-dessus de l'habitation, effayant le témoin. Ce bruit s'éloigne ensuite vers le Sud-Ouest. Ce jour là, une activité orageuse importante a été enregistrée dans la région d'habitation. Le témoin a entendu un coup de tonnerre dû à un orage violent. [GEIPAN classification A — Tonnerre]
Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 2008-04-01844). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
