However, the O-shaped black ring is not a rare occurrence as the Internet seems to believe. According to an NBC report, the black smoke ring that was also spotted over the Kazakh village is similar to the “Black Ring of Leamington Spa” spotted by a schoolgirl last year. Later, it was found out that the ring was formed due to a fireworks test in the nearby area.

According to the news website, circular smoke vortices usually form after a blast through a circular structure, which could be from a factory or a homemade trashcan ring launcher.
