Reports Report 2181a (Event 2181-2017)

Observer
Name Kenneth B
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This one actually looked like it was on fire - as if it were flaming. I saw it for all of one total second, but I saw some glimmer out of the corner of my eye, looked up, and there it was. Blue at the heart, which was bigger than any center I've seen in a long time, with yellow and orange flames around it. I've seen fireballs before. This had me stunned.
