A light appeared out of no where at night during a drive in movie, went straight a little then curved dramatically as much as a 90 degrI was at the drive-in movies. Next to Knights action park in Springfield IL. I was watching the new "Terminator" movie, and behind the screen, nowhere close to being on the screen, I saw a light show up out of no where. Now, I at first thought it could be a shooting star or satellite dish (sic. Satellite), but before it disappeared behind the screen out of view, it curved dramatically. At least 90 degrees and as far as I know. Shooting stars and satellite dishes (sic. Satellite) cannot make a turn that big. I was sitting in the front row next to my mom and dad, though neither of them saw it. But there were a lot more people there watching the movie, so I'm sure someone saw it too. Another thing was that it showed up out of no where then because the screen was in the way I don't know where it went. It was a glowing white in color. I'm 16 years old and I have seen shooting stars before. This was nothing like one. And in my opinion I believe there is life else where. I'd just never thought I would be reporting something like this. I don't know how to any more explain what I saw. I am not positive the exact time but it was around 12:30 to 1 am.
