Initial data
Many residents in Ciudad Obregón (Mexico) came in superstitious terror when she noticed a dark smoky ring, flying over their heads.
Various opinions were expressed about the nature of this curiosity. Some attributed the phenomenon to paranormal reasons or the fact that aliens finally decided to conquer us. Others thought the ring was a flock of birds or insects, which would also be a rather sinister explanation.
However, such formations appear in the sky for quite ordinary reasons — this is the result of smoke ejecting from a round hole (for example, a shot from a cannon). True, there are no guns in the city, but there is a factory there. One of its pipes may well have created an ominous ring, which seemed very scary to the residents.
Original news
A mystery black ring baffled residents after it was seen moving across the sky in Mexico. The strange figure was seen floating above streets in Ciudad Obregon in Sonora on September 21. One of the residents said some of his confused neighbours panicked when they saw the black smoke ring over their homes. He said: "Some were joking about aliens and UFOs, but others were seriously scared about it. ''One person thought that it was birds or thousands of insects invading the area, but it was moving too slow.'' The rare smoke ring phenomenon is believed to have been caused by an explosion from a circular structure. The dense smoke mixes with gases and retains its ring structure while it is suspended in the atmosphere. Locals believe the explosion may have happened at a nearby factory. There was also a car seen burning in the street, The smoke dissipated after almost half an hour of drifting high above the homes.
