Even after dismissing witchcraft with a rational mind this is still really, really weird.

Dubbed the Black Ring of Leamington Spa, the strange phenomenon was captured by Georgina Heap, 16, on her iPhone on Friday evening near Warwick Castle.

Fire services have said no fires were reported at the time and the Met Office have said it does not appear to be weather-related.

Heap said it was "the weirdest thing I have ever seen".

"I looked up at it and thought 'what the hell?', it was amazing.

"It was just floating there like a cloud and then it disappeared. It wasn't birds either.

"There were about ten of us who stopped what we were doing and watched."

UFO expert, Nick Pope, described the video as "truly bizarre" and ruled out it being a smoke ring.

He added: "One other possibility is that the shape is made up of millions of bees or other insects, but I've never heard of insects behaving in this way before, so if this is the explanation, it's a real-life X-File."

^ That video is from Nevada, USA -- not England.

 

One of the comments states that the machine smoke ring lasts only a minute.

 

The Warwick ring lasted 3 minutes.

 

Just because someone can replicate an effect, is not proof of anything.

Neither is a smoke ring proof of witchcraft

So it's impossible to do this in England. How long the smoke ring lasts depends on the stuff you use to make it and and weather conditions and such where you make it.

And being able to replicate it generally is proof that it's usually not magic, aliens or other dimensions. Ochams razor and all.

Also insect can be tricked into doing all sorta of things. Especially circles, you can easily make ants walk in a vortex where they will keep going round till they all die.

Being able to replicate something is proof of something: that a strange or uncommon phenomenon doesn't need a supernatural explanation. Do you really not see the connection there?

Gee. How do you become a UFO expert? Become well known for offering vague and unverified explanations of the occasional light in the sky?

plenty of videos of this on Youtube showing how its done, no mystery just some clever smoke bombs.

Why has no one come forward, or found the alleged 'smoke machine' ?

 

Why was this supposed smoke ring seen only one time ?

 

Why are these rings not seen in other areas of England ?

 

Posting a video filmed in Nevada, USA does not explain the sighting in England.

 

And others are just as sure this 'smoke' ring is a circle of insects. ;)

LOL here shows you the kids who did it http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=591_1397512919

Like I said no mystery

:s  :s  :s  :s  :s

 

Because a stunt performed in one part of the world can't be replicated in another?

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.

    • I did test it a month or so back, but ... the results I expect to be on the first page are not there.
    • Neowin is saying these are good prices? Thats crazy. As others have said they are just ######. Time for big tech to bring down the prices for real not this fake crap.
    • The iFlyTek AINote 2 is among the thinnest E-Ink tablets. It has an EMR stylus, a built-in fingerprint reader, and plenty of built-in AI features. You had me until "and plenty of built-in AI features." That and any company that still does the iProduct naming trope is an immediate pass. It suggests the company isn't very imaginative or creative and is trying to piggyback off another company's success. Extremely lame. Also kind of expensive. Better choices at lower prices out there.
    • These are not "great" prices... just "less awful". Apparently "Those who forget the past are doomed to pay higher prices and think they've won."
