..At least it certainly looks like it. And the Moon. It was bright enough to enable the solar panel, I guess! The Mott Island Webcam works tirelessly to provide us a glimpse of our park when we aren't there. Image from 12:42AM on 20 Apr 2018.
(Now if they'd only put one at Moskey looking East.)

I'm really hoping to see some of this on my trip in June!

It looks like the Northern Lights but I believe that it is actually the lights of Thunder Bay reflecting off low altitude clouds. The recent solar activity has been at extremely low levels.

Yeah, Occam's Razor would say that, too... Here's where motion from the camera would help, to see if they're dancing.
While they solar activity has been low, there are blips. There was a G2 (Moderate) Geomagnetic Storm at that same time with Kp6, So it's possible. Only the moose and wolves will know.
