Occurred on April 28th, 2016 / Disneyland,Anaheim,California, USA
Info From Licensor: "My wife and I were at Disneyland in California with our two children. It was our last night at the park, and we were following the parade up main street so we could exit the park, it was about 9:30pm. The crowds were enormous and it was hard to walk, or get around. That's when we saw this incredibly huge black ring in the distance. It was quite terrifying from our point of view, gazing up at this thing, and having no idea what it was. Many people around us also had their phones out to record this phenomenon. As I looked closer, the ring has little things swarming around the edges, almost looked like very tiny birds. I had this feeling in the pit of my stomach that I've never experienced before. Almost like we were all about to die or get transported. I literally felt like some sort of alien portal was going to open up through this ring. Many people claim it's just a smoke ring from the adjacent parks closing show, but the wind seemed pretty active, so one would assume the smoke would dissipate much quicker than this lingering ring floating through the sky. They even cancelled fireworks for that night, due to heavy winds, so it's hard to know for sure if it was a smoke ring or not. I had never ever seen anything like it, so I whipped out my phone as a struggled through the crowd and catch as much as I could. The ring continued to drift on by after I stopped recording and we just went on our way. My four year old daughter and wife were extremely distraught over the incident." - Kyle Hawkins
