Video: UFO, Sign From God, Or Smoke From Volcano Ride?

  Share This Story

"A Virginia family believes the black ring they saw in the sky during a trip to an amusement park was a sign from God.

Officials at Kings Dominion, a theme park near Fredericksburg, say the ring Denna Smith and her family spotted Monday was smoke from the Volcano ride, WAVY-TV, Portsmouth, reported.

Smith told the television station the ring was perfectly round and so tight it was 'like a cut in the middle of the sky,' that it did not look like smoke. She said the family prayed together as soon as they got home.

Cameron Pack, a UFO investigator, said he does not accept the Kings Dominion version because a similar ring appeared in the sky at Fort Belvoir, Va., more than 50 years ago."UPI

If the average person sees a black ring above a real or a mechanical volcano, he will put two and two together and conclude that the ring is smoke from the volcano. He will snap a pic of the smoking volcano, and continue enjoying the rides at the amusement park.

If a religious nut sees the same thing, he will interpret it as a sign from God. He will go home and pray, and make a vow to serve the Almighty by persecuting gays and feminists.

A UFO enthusiast will of course interpret the black ring as a UFO. He will take a video of the black ring over the volcano, and post the video on YouTube. He will label his video: Huge Black UFO over Kings Dominion.

God is not into sending smoke signals to his disciples, and UFOs don't hover over amusement parks. (or anywhere else on Earth for that matter.)
