UA 863 SFO-SYD 787-9 7/12 quick return after reported engine trouble

UA 863 SFO-SYD 7/12/2018 787-900 emergency turn around and return to SFO shortly after take-off due to (reported, passengers) flames from engine number 1. Passengers quoted they were told (doubtful) "Engine seized up"?? Track shows circling presumably for fuel dump before return to SFO. No official word, yet, of course.
