| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen several shoot stars and flashes across the sky at night on our rural coast and northern lights in the NW of Canada. This was the first of its kind for me, very large and colourful. A wonderful sight to witness while driving with my brother who also saw it. Very interested what it was and if it could be confirmed. |
