I just checked my backyard and it doesn't look like any of the wormholes there.

It looks as big as one of those space ships from Independence Day 4. AAAGGGGHHHH The end of the world
Very interesting. If it was cloud, how could the perfectly circular ring have stayed intact for over 10 minutes???
There is quite a wind blowing at ground level judging by those tree branches

It's a "fallstreak hole". There's some great images of them in the gallery on the Cloud Appreciation Society site.

Wow, there are some fantastic formations on the site.

I reckon the mushroom cloud would freak one out a bit if you didn't know what was happening.

I, and about a squillion other people saw the same thing over Zion NP in the US about 10 years ago.
According to the park ranger, who rang up the weather people who presumably called whoever they call etc, etc, Its probably caused by a "raindrop" of cold air from higher in the atmosphere, though the exact physics are unknown.
Interesting, to be sure, but not as cool as a UFO.

Looks like your ordinary garden variety Martian DS Explorer Proton trail to me.

You guys have got it all wrong...... it's GOT to be a UFO...... Ordinary cloud?? My foot But funny thing, most UFO photographs are normally fuzzy..... Yours seem pretty good (OH I KNOW youses have doctored them up in photoshop to take out the fuzziness) Yes, you all are in league with the aliens - you have been got at - probably some rays shining down from the UFO whilst taking the photo.
