Observer
NamePatrick P
Experience Level2/5
RemarksThere almost seemed to be an aura like it was an irregular shaped chunk. The front was greenish blue and the tail faded to a yellowish orange fire trail. It was only for a couple seconds. The main fireball green color seemed to have a shape… not spherical as I have seen before. That is why I say it was some kind of space trash maybe…
