We were watching The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies with large speakers and a subwoofer. The audience was all facing the same direction and many all saw the same thing above the houses, but the sound may have been covered by the movie being played. It was amazing to see! Seen many meteor showers and nothing like this.
