According to the FOX Forecast Center, the ring is likely a smoke ring from some sort of explosion.

“According to their analysis, the rare smoke ring was most likely the result of some type of explosion. They likened it to the formation of a mushroom cloud, where rapidly rising air traps smoke in a ring-like formation because it is moving faster than the surrounding air,” FOX Weather reported.

Here’s what Fox Weather reported:

The skies above a small Kansas town became the stage for an astonishing and unusual spectacle as a large black ring seemed to defy explanation.

The bizarre phenomenon was spotted by Bonner Springs resident Frankie Camren on Monday afternoon while on a motorcycle ride, which was abruptly halted by the unusual anomaly hanging in the air on a nearby county road.

“I just pulled over,” Camren recounted in an interview with FOX Weather. “I’m almost 50 years old. I ain’t ever seen nothing like that.”

Bonner Springs, Kansas, resident Frankie Camren witnessed and recorded a large, dark smoke ring while riding his motorcycle on Monday. According to Camren, the ring appeared to be spinning, and he didn’t hear any explosions or noises that could explain its origin.

Camren captured the strange occurrence on video, noting that the center of the ring was intensely dark, and smoke appeared to be swirling around it.

“Can somebody tell me what the (expletive) is this?” he can be heard saying in the clip. “And I’m not using no app … it appears that little black stuff has fallen down the center of it.”

Initially perplexed, he considered possible explanations but dismissed the idea of mortars as he heard no loud noises while riding his Harley-Davidson just blocks away.
