Strange footage shows an unexplained black ring in a clear blue sky above the village of Shorthandy village, near Astana in Kazakhstan. The phenomenon stayed in the heavens for several minutes before vanishing into thin air, before stunned locals who watched the spectacle on Saturday 3 April. "It was like a black cloud. We saw it at around 4 pm on April 3. It dissipated like smoke, but it was completely odorless," Oleg Menshikov, a village resident, told Today.kz.
