Here you can see the bottom of the tower in the picture above right next to the volcano roller coaster.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (WAVY) - Denna Smith is a writer who hopes to work with Tyler Perry someday, but, she says, even she couldn't make this story up.
"We were like what is that, we were all stopped and we were astonished," said Smith.
Smith and her family were at Kings Dominion when they saw a black floating ring in the sky. "Is this the end of the world, what is going on?" Smith wondered.
Kings Dominion says the ring is smoke from a ride called Volcano. UFO investigator, Cameron Pack, agreed. Pack said he'd be convinced it was just smoke if it weren't for pictures of a similar sighting at Fort Belvoir, taken sometime in the 1950s.
Smith says she's positive it wasn't smoke.
"Smoke usually looks smokey and cloudy. This ring of smoke was a perfect circle. It was lined up so tight like it was a cut in the middle of the sky," said Smith. She also doesn't think it was a UFO.
"It was like a sign, God gives you signs and I just felt like that was a sign and I'm not sure what that sign meant but it meant a great deal to my family because when we got home we all got in line and prayed together. We were freaking out," Smith continued.

Obama's been looking for that.
This paragraph makes no sense. The UFO investigator (are they licensed?) agrees it was a smoke ring. Then explains why he doesn’t agree that it’s a smoke ring.
They WANT to believe. Their first reaction is, it must be a UFO (or the Virgin Mary). Then you have to convice them otherwise. Exactly backwards of what basic logic/critical thinking would teach.

I’ll see if I can find a map of the park. Been there, it’s the volcano. Sorry to disappoint.....

I can clearly see a space monster waving in that smoke ring you posted. Unfortunately, he’s missing his right leg below the knee.
My brother actually recorded that video when he was at Kings Dominion on Saturday, and put that on YouTube for us family members to see. (He is properly credited on the news sites now as well). He just thinks it was probably the volcano smoke too, and has no trouble with the Kings Dominion explanation. He filmed it because he thought it looked so odd when it retained that shape for 15-20 minutes, and didn’t appear to move away at all. It stayed exactly like that for far longer than this minute-long clip.
