Is this really a ghost or a dust devil like one in Mars?

Is this really a ghost or a dust devil like one in Mars?

Does this video show or prove that ghosts really exist or can it be scientifically explained away as a dust devil?
You be the judge
After all this is an Actual Police Video footage and highly likely not made up or fake.

When a Connecticut police officer found his wing mirror on the floor next to his car, it was initially thought to be a case of vandalism.
But a closer look at the CCtv footage by Police Officers showed the cause was spookier. The video shows a mysterious whirlwind sweeping through the police station car park, breaking the mirror off and sweeping it away around the parking lot.
Then, just as suddenly as it first appeared, the Ghostly Appiration drops the mirror where its owner found it - right underneath the car's window.
Some officers working at the station, in Hertford, Connecticut, came away from the video convinced the station's parking lot was haunted.
see it here.

Dust Devils are not just seen on Mars they commonly appear here on Earth, particularly in the hot dusty outback of Australia. I have seen a few in my time and I even got caught in the path of a small one back in Western Australia.

This video clearly shows a Dust Devil and not a ghost...jeez amazing what someone's imagination and a bit of creative reporting will come up with.

Gotta agree with Hans......a simple Dust Devil....as the weather man says.....conditions were just right for such an event to occur.
I've seen these many times while driving across the Hay Plains in NSW

Nothin to do with Ghosts....what a ' beat up ' over nothing....
Maybe we should blame it on Global Warming....

Seen PLENTY of dust devils in my life, especially out on the Darling Downs and around Kingaroy. They get PLENTY strong!!!

Driving through SA on our way to WA, my wife and I not only watched a line of LARGE willi-willi's, but one "followed" our car (the change in pressure/bow wave cause by the car creates a "trail" for the vortex to follow). They appear as fast as they disappear.

Ghost? I'm afraid of no ghost.... GHOSTBUSTERS!

I've seen some pretty cool dust devils in my backyard during dry weather. The small ones are cute, the large ones not so much...
