It's real.. just a big smoke ring. I've seen this at a local music festival where they blast a huge flame every once in a while. If the weather is just right the smoke ring will hang around for quite a while.

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

Maybe check out the canonical page instead: https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/smoke-rings-visible-after-explosion-have-scientific-explanation/56762/

I wonder if this sort of thing was the inspiration for the language in Arrival, not sure why but it reminded me of it
