| Be on the lookout for UFO believers. I googled the story and ended up on a UFO site. One of the members sent an e-mail to KD asking about the smoke ring. In the reply, they mention this site and the coaster crew site for them to get confirmation that it was from Volcano. |

I read the comments and at first I thought some of the people were being sarcastic, but then I realized they really were serious...I mean really  Pretty soon they'll be saying that people are really being abducted when the flight of fear trains return empty  |

I saw the smoke ring quite a few times when I was working there in the fall.
It happens ALL the time. It's nothing out of the ordinary. |

Ridiculous. These people are hilarious. Here's what the "UFO" actually was:
| Quote: | They undoubtedly rank amongst the most eccentric sky phenomena on the planet: the metres-wide rings of vapour or smoke that can be seen floating through the air on occasion.
The physics behind these "vortex rings" is very complex. Moreover, vortex rings do not always form in the same way. In most instances, the rings are formed by air mixed with smoke or steam that is forced out of a (relatively) small circular or cylindrical opening (this can be a chimney, the barrel of a canon, or a vent in a volcano crater). Because of the drag of the surface of the opening, the air expelled from the centre will move faster than the air exiting the opening near the edge. The air from the sides is sucked in, and a circular motion is created. In this way, a doughnut-shaped vortex is formed, just like a smoke ring that is blown from a smoker's lips. The ring-shape is maintained due to the rotational motion of the air flowing in the vortex ring. |
