| Name | Marie V |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was quite light out still, so it was very surprising to see such a bright streak of light. Our first thought was a firework, but it started and ended in the middle of the sky, from above us to in front of us over Lake Charlevoix. Pretty unique |
