Initial data
It was like a black cloud. We noticed it about four o'clock in the afternoon, 3 April. And after about 15 minutes, the ring started to melt: to dissipate the smoke smell was no - quoted by one of the villagers, Oleg Menshikov, portal Today.kz.
Local journalists spoke with associate Professor of physics North Kazakhstan state University Andrey Solodovnik, and he put forward several theories about the origin of the unusual ring.
On one of them, a similar phenomenon may occur in case of intrusion in the Earth's atmosphere of cosmic bodies, their braking, and then decay. But in this case, it is recognized Solodovnik, the ring was to remain at a higher level in the atmosphere, and hence the variant itself is unlikely.
Rather, he said, the phenomenon is anthropogenic in nature, and the origin of the ring is on the ground.
- There are such phenomena as solitons, long-lived rotating vortices, known in meteorology for quite some time. They can be artificially produced. For example, American scientists experimented: produced similar to a smoke ring, capable in his way, even tilting objects, - said the physicist.
According to him, to create such a soliton is necessary to make something like a volley emission of combustible material from the cylinder of large diameter. Ring in the sky over Shortandy, according to the calculations of the Solodovnik, had a diameter of at least 100 meters and was hovering over the earth at a height from 200 meters to one kilometer.
You see how it breaks into grey smoky traces. Hence, the ring consists of carbon black. It is noticeable that the track to the ring stretches from the earth, so we can assume that it is a product of combustion, he says.

Hypotheses
Vortex ring
Toroidal vortex (also vortex ring) is a phenomenon in which the region of rotating fluid moving through the same or a different area of a fluid when the flow pattern takes the shape of a toroid (donut).
Investigation
The basic hypothesis vyskazany an associate Professor in the Department of physics at North Kazakhstan state University Andrey Solodovnik - soliton (vortex ring). This structure occur where the flow of liquid or gas are linked together and revolve in the form of a closed ring. The phenomenon is quite common, you can create it artificially, to some extent controlling its size and position in space.
As an example, similar rings can be offered how many of volcanic origin.
If you search information about the eruption of Kolchanov, you can find:
Only according to the Geophysical service of RAS, on Friday, April 3, at about 13:56 Kamchatka Zhupanovsky volcano threw a column of ash to a height of 4000 metres. The ash plume spread in the Eastern, South-Eastern direction from the volcano (Kronotsky Bay).And at the same time, the Crimean giant Kamchatka threw a column of ash to a height of 3000 meters. With respect to the direction of the wind ash plume spread in the Eastern, South-Eastern direction from the volcano (Kronotsky Bay).
Time is very close, but the direction is quite the opposite.
Also such a ring you can get artificially.
