Astonishing, amazing, astounding, striking, and many more.
Anyone will do.
Although it is copied from the Late Qing Writer 凌蒙初's book title, it really just means a stronger sense of supprizing. So you can just select a stonger word from the above list, or just use "very, very supprizing".

The report claimed that this is an extremely astonishing/or amazing event.
~{ED08~} (banging the table) gives reader a more expressive description of emotions, also could connotate a more extreme degree of feelings (eg. in english we use anger vs furious vs rage to illustrate varying degrees of anger); while ~{>*Ff~} could be surprise vs astonishment vs amazement.
hope this helps. :)

有两本本中国古典小说叫“初刻拍案惊奇”和“二刻拍案惊奇”，我念高中时很喜欢看的，现在还记得其中的很多故事，讲的都是一些人间奇事。冬天坐在被窝里看看，蛮有味道的。
问者的句子里拍案惊奇四字标有引号，我想可能是暗引那两本书的。
