Hadn't seen t hose before, but they do seem rather interesting, now that you mention it.

To me it is a plasma event...
A plasmoid is a coherent structure of plasma and magnetic fields. Plasmoids have been proposed to explain natural phenomena such as ball lightning,[2] magnetic bubbles in the magnetosphere,[3] and objects in cometary tails,[4] in the solar wind,[5][6] in the solar atmosphere,[7] and in the heliospheric current sheet. Plasmoids produced in the laboratory include field-reversed configurations, spheromaks, and the dense plasma focus

We shall take the liberty of calling this toroidal structure a plasmoid, a word which means plasma-magnetic entity. The word plasmoid will be employed as a generic term for all plasma-magnetic entities.

Kind of reminds me of the electric 'footprint' of Io on Jupiter's polar ring.

hi web,webolife wrote:Sorry to disappoint the rampant electric discharge theorists in previous posts, but that photo of the alleged "cloud ring" shown with the beautiful auroral display in the background is a famous old space photo of the Manacougan Crater in Ontario.
Finally, their most salient characteristic is the annular shape of defocused areas of the image, giving a doughnut-shaped 'iris blur'or bokeh, caused by the shape of the entrance pupil.

In which case, why would someone try to photo it?
If it's the flash of the camera, there would have been nothing visible to want to photograph in the first place - ergo it cannot be.
The light had to be there before the shot was taken.
