A strange black ring causes stir
A “disturbing” black ring was spotted hovering over Disneyland, sending doomsday preppers into a frenzy.
The footage, filmed in 2016 by Kyle Hawkins, shows a massive smoke ring descending from the night sky above the theme park.
Visitors, who usually come to escape reality, were instead faced with an eerie and perplexing sight.
Kyle’s reaction to the phenomenon
Kyle shared his experience with the unusual phenomenon:
-“I had no idea what it could be… Walking up Main Street at Disneyland, following the parade.”
“People around me started looking up and pointing at this daunting black ring floating above us.”
“It was a windy night, so it couldn’t have been a smoke ring. Everyone watched it in confusion and fear.” “I half expected an alien portal to open up through the ring. It was the strangest thing I’ve ever seen.”
– “I quickly pulled out my phone to record it, then immediately uploaded the raw footage to YouTube.”
The shaky clip captured the eerie sight and quickly spread online, sparking intense online discussion.
Reactions on social media
The video was shared on Reddit, where users reacted with various theories.
In the comment selection, some viewers speculated it might be a portal to another dimension or a glitch in the matrix. However, a more grounded explanation soon emerged.
– One person joked: We get it, you vape.
– Another joked: Voldemort is back.
– A third wrote; Don’t look up.
The pyrotechnic explanation
A Reddit user who worked at California Adventure offered a logical explanation: “The smoke ring is from the fire blast during the World of Color show at California Adventure.”
“I used to laugh at people who would freak out over this.”
Other users chimed in with similar explanations: In Germany, there was a similar smoke ring in 2016 due to pyrotechnics. It’s a normal occurrence from special fireworks.
“These smoke rings last for a few minutes and then vanish.”
What causes the smoke ring
Further details explained that the smoke ring could be created using a specific mixture of fuel and pyrotechnic effects:
– “It’s a cylinder of gasoline and diesel mixed 50/50, with a small black powder charge that creates a fireball.”
– “It’s dramatic but not mystical and a beautiful effect, although a little creepy.”
While some speculated that the black ring was a sign from another dimension or an alien portal, the truth is likely more mundane.
The smoke ring was caused by pyrotechnic effects during the World of Color show.
Despite this, the strange sight continues to captivate and mystify viewers online, adding to the list of bizarre and intriguing phenomena spotted at Disneyland.
