Previous sightings of smoke rings similar to this one have been documented globally, adding to the mystery surrounding such phenomena as observers shared their thoughts and humor on social media.
The smoke ring was most likely the result of some type of explosion, similar to the way a mushroom cloud forms when rapidly rising air traps smoke.
I looked up and saw this big black ring in the sky... it just looked super cool.
