Officials are still stumped as to the origin of the ring as recorded by Georgina Heap in Leamington Spa, England, but all signs point to it being a ’vortex ring’.
From Descrier:
Most vortex rings are caused by some form of explosion, such as a powerline transformer, with the rings formed by air mixed with smoke forced through a cylindrical opening. The air in the centre of the cylinder will be expelled more quickly because of drag around the edges. The air from the sides is sucked in, creating a circular motion and the vortex you see in the video, with the ring hanging in the air as long as the rotational motion of the air continues.
