It looks rather like some kind of huge smoke ring. Perhaps it could be evaporating water vapour, sure looks strange!

My Norwegian is slightly limited, to say the least, so would anyone mind giving a rough translation of what the article has to say please? I'm interested to know what caused it.

It is the Norwegian Fire Department that caused this ring of smoke due to some exercise. Not sure which kind of exercise though.

It says "resertifiseringskurs"
