Reports Report 1438bd (Event 1438-2013)

Observer
Name Liz B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Not sure if my direction is correct. I'm new to the area. We were at a drive in movie and saw it above the top left corner before it went behind the mountain about a mile in front of us at least. It was awesome. Everyone saw it and it looked like something had fallen through the atmosphere. Way way too big to be a falling star. Besides, it was bright enough to see through the clouds.
