On 11th April, a seemingly inexplicable black ring (of smoke?) appeared over the Bridge House Theatre in Leamington Spa, a spa town in Warwickshire, Britain.
Interestingly, this isn't the first time these weird smoke rings have plagued the skies. In 2012, a similar black ring was spotted in the skies over Chicago. Here's the astonishing video that accompanied the tale:

It started with rain, but then -- out of the sky. It looked like smoke, but it was a perfect circle, said Chuck Fehlis. A mushroom cloud - dark gray developed right above it, said Rod Snowden. It began to grow, grow, grow, said Kelly Snowden. (Cassiopaea.org)
WTSP News station in Florida received multiple reports and images of a strange smoke ring hovering in the sky in northern Pinellas County on the night of October 17th, 2013.

What are these anomalies? A sign of the end of the world? ET contact? Weather phenomenon? What do you think?Viewers sent in pictures from Palm Harbor, Safety Harbor, and Clearwater. We reached out to the National Weather Service, Duke Energy and Pinellas County emergency dispatchers, and no one could explain the mysterious ring.
Krzysztof Humienny of Clearwater described it as a "thin ring-shaped tornado, just spinning sideways in a joined circle [and] slowly moving across the sky."
It remained in sight for just a short time, and then it was gone.
"From when I saw it, it lasted a few minutes and then faded away like a cloud. I don't know what it was or how it started," Humienny explained.
