Circles in the Sky
This person was driving through Erie, Pennsylvania, when he noticed weird circles in the sky. According to him, lots of folks (himself included) pulled over to take pics of it! Curious, indeed. Wouldn’t you take a second look if you saw an unexplained circle in the sky while driving? You probably would.
This person didn’t just take a picture – he took it a step forward and posted the picture on the r/WhatIsThisThing subreddit. Unlike what some people probably thought, they had nothing to do with aliens. Cylindrical, metal barrels hanging on electric posts known as “transformers” are responsible for these mysterious smoke rings. This phenomenon is called soliton, the result of a rotating motion of smoke coming out of the transformers.
