OMG! What is that mysterious ring in the sky?

A video of a mysterious black ring in the sky over Leamington Spa, England, has left people scratching their heads.

Dubbed the Black Ring of Leamington Spa, the strange phenomenon was captured by Georgina Heap, a 16-year-old schoolgirl, on her iPhone on Friday evening near Warwick Castle.

The ring remained in the sky for around three minutes before vanishing, it has been reported.

"It was just floating there like a cloud and then it disappeared. It wasn't birds either. There were about ten of us who stopped what we were doing and watched," said Heap.

Fire services have said no fires were reported at the time and the Met Office has said it does not appear to be weather-related.

According to The Huffington Post, UFO expert, Nick Pope, described the video as "truly bizarre" and ruled out it being a smoke ring.

While several explanations were forwarded for the strange phenomenon, none could withstand scrutiny.
