Strange white "ring cloud" above Shangrao, Jiangxi Province, China - SOLVED

The incident took place a week ago in Shangrao of Jiangxi Province in China. In the video, we can see a mysterious ring cloud hovering above the spot that has left the residents baffled. The strangely shaped cloud appeared in the sky last week, but the video has only surfaced now.

The short clip shows orange-hued cloud floating in the sky above a village at Shaoyang town, Shangrao. The round cloud looked like a flame burning and it remained in the sky for at least 8-10 minutes.

Many villagers believed that the mysterious phenomenon is nothing but a UFO hovering above, although a smoke cloud from an earthly explosion of some sort is a more reasonable explanation.

 

Analysis

Smoke rings are a commonly seen result of small explosions that can arise when you have a blast through a circular structure like a smokestack. 

Conclusion - Explosion
