| Name | Stefanie K |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Two of us saw it as we were driving east on highway 50 from Ottawa to Montréal, roughly around Lachute, Québec. It caught us off guard. It was definitely green and burning up as it fell, came out of nowhere, it was very fast and lasted a few seconds. Amazing experience :) |
