A bizarre, ring-shape UFO that appeared in the skies above Venezuela was recorded by a pair of stunned friends.
The now-viral video shows the dark, circular spot hovering in the clouds over Valencia, a city in the northern Venezuelan state of Carabobo.
‘A flying saucer,’ one of the young men shouts as they drove down a rode on a sunny afternoon.
He then asks one of his pals for the time on the clock to document the recording.
‘Bro, look here: 4:54 pm on the 17th of June in 2024,’ he says. ‘Look at what is here in the sky in Valencia, Carabobo.’

The excited man then asks one of his friends to share the video with another person.
Although Venezuelan authorities have not made any public statements, local meteorologist Luis Vargas rained on their parade with several theories that ruled out a possible UFO sighting.
‘This could be a smoke vortex or black ring that occurs after an explosion through a circular structure such as an industrial chimney or something similar,’ he wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
He also indicated that the circular shape may have been produced by a volcano.
‘They are also more common in volcanic activities as can be seen … and are known as ring clouds,’ Vargas said.
Venezuelan meteorologist Luis Vargas downplayed a video filmed in the northern city of Valencia on June 17 that showed a ring-shaped UFO figure in the sky and took to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, to share two pictures (left and right) explain that it was most like smoke that was produced by an explosion from a chimney

One user on X linked the odd-looking shape to military exercises that had taken place at a camp ahead of Monday’s commemoration of the Battle of Carabobo, the 1821 fight for independence between fighters led by Venezuela General Simón Bolivar and the Spanish.
