If it was a "smoke ring" there's many errors in this video that anyone can point our by doing a simple experiment at home. Make a fire in a barrel and water it down to produce "smoke" then continue to produce a smoke ring, once the smoke ring has been produced you will see it float up. But in this video the ring stays a constant shape. Regular "smoke rings" are going to expand outwards and become thinner the higher it goes up causing the smoke ring to become invisible.

Example 1:



Now you can see this smoke ring was produced by the Bocca Nuova crater.





Do you see how when the smoke ring is leaving the crater it's shape is not staying constant. This is due to the wind and air factors taking place.

Example 2 (Try this at home and observe):
www.youtube.com...

But in the video that the OP posted, this could very well be a UFO due to the following facts:


* Maintains constant "RING" shape. "IF" it was a "smoke ring" it would have a deformed shape not constant.

* It appears and disappears.

* The object seems to be a big of a "black" color. Normal smoke rings are "white" and would clearly disappear at it's altitude.


I'm a pilot and I've flown over many places and have never seen a "smoke ring" at such heights and this is clearly an object of some sort.. Smoke rings would disappear or vanish into the clouds.

Thank you for your time reading my post.

Is this the one you mean: Ring UFO 1957. That is the video version of the incident I was trying to link to in my previous post.

Also see this one: Ring UFO

I can understand the man-made smoke rings, but it is worth more scrutiny to me when they are way up there, (nearly) perfectly circular, and they drift while maintaing the circular shape (2nd video). They last for seemingly way too long for a smoke ring.

Yes, it doesn't appear to have any of the properties of a smoke ring. The news comes on in 25 minutes...Hopefully that will clarify things.

That is an interesting video, the latter one moreso. Never seen that before, nor heard of it.

And it does look remarkably like what the OP posted...

Hmmm.. !

Good work Spacemonkeys but wouldn't you expect to see the smoke ring move with the other mist/low level cloud we see?

Even if it was a fair bit higher than the lowest level cloud we see, it still holds shape for a good minute of footage.

It seems to me if it was a smoke ring it would have to be fairly high.
Maybe something we don't really perceive if it is really big?

Not if your ring is a lot bigger than the one you make with a small barrel. If the ring is big, then the small variations that wind cause are not going to be noticeable. (btw, summer in VA = less than 5mph winds, and KD only opens in summer)

The ring came from a ride called 'volcano'.



I say that's somewhat bigger than your barrel

Good point but...your missing something. In the video the ring sticks out more and doesn't diffuse with the cloud.

Examples:

NOW.

^^ You can see the "vapor" trail of the smoke following the ring which means this is a man made created ring from a barrel or your "volcano"... plus the ring does NOT keep a current ring shape, in the video the OP posted there is no visible vapor trail plus the ring sticks out of the clouds just like the two videos I posted above and that it maintains a consent RING shape.

i do agree it is fairly odd to see a smoke ring that well preserved at cloud level however i dont have any knowledge of smoke clouds so im not entirely sure. The images shows that whatever it is it doesnt have a middle so i can only assume its a well preserved smoke ring.
