Well, I guess in the truest sense it really is........but what is it? Fireworks? Flare?

Dunno?

In one point on the video, the ring looks like it is flexed or warped. That might indicate some type of helium ballon losing pressure. It is strange anyway.

It's just a pyrotechnic smoke ring.

Well,

I guess I can rule out that some YouTube channel or stuff payed them to react like that. Also doesn't look like a balloon nor a flying saucer.

Maybe it's a giant jellyfish that ran out from the Sponge Bob's world.

Someone is blowing out huge smoke rings from a mammoth stogy?

Good explanation dude. Although aging hippie freedom lovers might not be on the beach with their smoke ring wagon in China? HAHAHA

But someone made a copy!

Were they holding a vape contest?

Definitely a smoke ring.

However if you're still doubting. Take a look at the chart below.

Those can happen when transformers explode.

Looks exactly like when lightning strikes and leaves a smoke ring, I have seen it before.

It just look's like a smoke ring to me BUT remember that scene from star trek were they reconfigure a torpedo to follow the emission's of the cloaked bird of prey, it could be the exhaust from a UFO of some kind.
My money is on a world class smoke ring blowing champion though.

from the article you linked

However, once the video was posted online people were able to clarify what the object is.It's believed the black ring was a special visual effect from a performance at a nearby event, The Sun reports.

So weird I just started re-watching that series! SO GOOD!

I think it is a smoke ring from a pyrotechnic though...
