Photos from open Sources An unusual phenomenon was observed by the inhabitants of the village of Shortandy (Akmola region, Kazakhstan): a huge floated high in the sky black ring.
One of the villagers says that the ring resembled a black cloud. He was noticed on April 3 at about four in the afternoon. In about for a quarter of an hour the ring began to melt, dissipated like smoke, however there was no smell.
Local journalists turned to the assistant professor for clarification NKSU Physics Andrei Solodovnik, and he voiced several versions regarding the origin of the strange ring.
According to one version, such a phenomenon can occur if in the earth’s atmosphere is invaded by a cosmic body, drastically slows down and then breaks up. However, then the ring would remain higher in atmosphere, therefore, such an option is unlikely. Andrew The malthouse is inclined to consider the nature of this phenomenon anthropogenic, that is, the source of its occurrence should be sought on the earth.
In meteorology, the so-called solitons have long been known – centrifugal rotating vortices. You can get them and artificial way, says the physicist. For example, American scientists did such an experience: they produced smoke rings that were capable of knock over objects in their path.
To create such a soliton, you need to do something like this. volley of fuel from a cylinder with a large diameter. According to the calculations of the Malt, the diameter of the ring over Shortandy was at least a hundred meters, and it was at a height of two hundred to a thousand meters. It is noticeable that the ring breaks up into smoky gray traces, therefore, it consists of carbon black. It is seen also, that a trail from the earth stretches towards it, on the basis of which it is possible Assume: The ring is a combustion product.
I must say that this phenomenon is not unique, although, of course, unusual. On YouTube, you can find videos shot in various countries that confirm this. For example, one of the last there was a ring that was observed a year ago by the inhabitants of the English city Royal Leamington Spa. Scientists explain the reason for its occurrence as follows and could not.
