Tales of the Black Smoke Rings

-

 


Black smoke rings floating in the sky have been seen for many years by many people all over the world, often discounted as coming from a bonfire or a battle re-enactment but can all these sightings really be explained so dismissively? Read on to find out.

They have been reported numerous times from the US to Russia, while some believe them to be easily explained as smoke rings caused by fires of burning rubber,  or other noxious but very much terrestrial substances, that through planning of coincidence cause a floating smoke ring. Some easily dismiss them as being caused by cannon fire from a local reenactment. There are some sceptics who have put down the sightings to various weather phenomena that my not be fully understood but enough is known for them to confidentially dismiss every sighting. Others believe a far more nefarious plot involving that modern and seemingly never dying conspiracy theory of chemtrails and government weather control experiments (or mind control as some believe). Others think they are UFOs either with some sort of cloaking device (it's effectiveness must be brought into question) or some kind of doughnut shaped spaceship. 

While there are some obvious explanations to some of these sightings that are reported especially ones seen locally around a festival or local reenactment may be dismissed. It should be noted that most of these sightings are of singular smoke rings which seems inconsistent with a reenactment where multiple cannon shots are fired or a festival or some such where fires are going constantly. Surely multiple such smoke rings would be seen nearly simultaneously? This doesn't account for other rings of smoke being seen miles for any major conurbations and as such if common wisdom is believed they would have to float miles and miles while maintaining a ring shape all the while not being seen by other people while on its journey until spotted by some lucky individual(s). Many questions still remain regarding there peculiar aerial phenomena and I don't think any one explanation is sufficient to explain every sighting. 

These phenomena like so many strange and unexplained occurrences probably have multiple explanations some mundane, sone scientific and others less so depending on when and where they are seen. Who knows maybe some are a little more out of this world than others.

You can read more about these smoke rings here, here and here.

Anyway I will leave it up to you to decide. 

Until next time 

Stay safe

Farmer believes puma responsible for death of sheep

A North Wales farmer has told the local press that he has lost 10 sheep since July from what he believes is a puma stalking his farm animals. He states that they are killed by a single distinctive bite to the neck and if the carcass is left more is taken away (presumably eaten by the same animal) over the next few days. The attacks were in the Beddgelert area of North Wales near Snowdonia. The exact location has been withheld due to fears hunters may try to go after the animal. The farmer has also said that a neighbour has had a ram killed and another neighbour (or possibly the same one as it us not stated) saw a large cat (about three times the size of a domestic cat) light brown in colour jump over a wall back in August.  This is not the first time this area of Wales has been subject to suspected big cat attacks as in 2015 the same area of Nantmor and Beddgelert. Where more sheep had been were lost (assume killed) and a witness reported seeing a mother puma with cubs! Area where a pu

The Shag Harbour Incident

  On October 4th 1967 a remarkable event took place in which the tiny an relatively unknow fishing village of Shag Harbour and its residents would be put on the world map once and for all. The incident drew enough attention to be investigated by both the civilian RCMP and Coast guard and military Canadian navy and air force. The story is as follows. Multiple residents of the tiny fishing community of Shag Harbour began to notice strange orange lights in the sky in the evening of the 4th (approx. 11.20pm Atlantic Daylight Time) this was reported by multiple witnesses who generally believed there were four noticeable lights. The lights were flashing in sequence and then without warning dived at a steep angle towards the waters surface. However the lights did not crash in to the water but instead hovered above the waters surface approximately half a mile off shore. At first believing they may have witnessed a plane crash out at sea RCMP Constable Ron O'Brien was contacted by Laurie Wi

The Devil's Footprints

  On a cold Snowy February 1855 a strange event occurred through both East and South Devon that is still often mentioned to this day, that event would become known as the Devil's footprints. After a night of heavy snowfall the areas around Exe Estuary woke to a strange sight, a series of hoof like foot prints could be seen they stretched for between some 40-100 miles crossing gardens and roof tops. The explanation for this if lore is to believed is that the residents of East and South Devon were visited by the devil that wintery night as he wandered through the county plotting some nefarious deeds no doubt and all that was left as the witness were his cloven hoof marks.   The hoof prints were traced over haystacks, through walls and even roofs this was certainly not the works of the local wildlife unless deer and horses can climb and pass through solid objects. The Times described the prints as  the Times the footprints were described as:  "more like that of a biped than a qua
