Odd

Why stop filming? And, why were they filming this cloud anyway? It definitely looks pretty cool if it is for real. How can we believe anything shown in still or moving images during this age of technology and manipulation. Next thing you will see is New Jerusalem descending from the sky.

Smoke ring?

Could be the volcano letting out a puff of smoke.

Mount St Helens had that before blowing its top in 1980

Fascinating! can you provide a web link on that?

I thought smoke rings were fairly common in the volcano world? Search images on any search engine other than Google.

It does vaguely

remind me of the vortex cannon [Link]and [Link](excuse the over-excitement of the commentators in both cases).

Volcano, the Blast Coaster

Smoke ring coming out of a volcano? How about a smoke ring coming out of a volcano ride? Check out this video of a smoke ring over a theme park in Virginia. The youtube video is tagged "UFO over King's Dominion."

Unlike the Mt Ruapehu's smoke ring this smoke ring at King's Dominion has a near stunning perfection to it and it hangs there for at least a minute, which, to say the least, caught my attention. The youtuber that posted this video wrote, "I have spoken with others from my work who were there and they have said they witnessed the same smoke ring actually come from the Volcano ride."

So what was that volcano ride doing? Maybe something like this.

Now, isn't that disappointing. I liked the UFO explanation much better.

However, I would be remiss to suggest that all smoke rings and whatever phenomena can be explained away by conventional means. We do, after all (as I must always remind myself) live in a hyper dimensional universe.

From a 2003 edition of SOTT consider "Strange Clouds":

And also from 2003 Cassiopaea.org, "Mysterious Smoke Rings or When a Cloud is not a Cloud?"
[Link]
Here is my current high strangeness probability score card:

Smoke Ring over Mt Ruapehu: 5%
Smoke Ring over King's Dominion: 8%
Smoke Ring over Cleveland Air show, called NASA special effect: 3%
Smoke Ring over military base, circa 1957: 67%

Forgive my prior post. It prematurely posted itself unexpectedly.

Camera Tricks

I checked out this black ring over the King's Dominion and realized that the ring is actually on the glass they shot through. I like taking photos when I go out for a drive and one day, after downloading the images I was looking at one photo with a bright object in the sky then realized it was a small smudge on the windshield I was shooting through that was highlighted by sunlight. I have a feeling there a lot of hoaxes done this way.

FACT Police are here !!! 100% Not Mt Ruapehu

How do I know its not Mt Ruapehu?? because my dad has a farm near in Ohakune. And there in no active eruption coming from Mt Ruapehu at present.

Oh and yes vortex rings are a common feature of volcano's if the conditions are right. I think Mt Etna in Italy was actually the source of this footage.

"The purpose of GLADIO was to attack civilians, the people - women, children, innocent people, unknown people, far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple: to force the public to turn to the State and demand greater security. Under a strategy of tension, you 'destabilize in order to stabilize', to create tension within society and promote conservative, reactionary social and political tendencies."
