Summary: At 6 pm on June 21st, 2003, hundreds of Venezuelans were treated to the sight of a strange lenticular cloud that appeared to conceal a ring-shaped object within its folds. This sighting took place some 20 km west of Caracas. The author of the enigmatic photographs seen on this page wishes to remain anonymous. A preliminary analysis of the photographs shows no evidence of trickery and the “cloud-ring” can clearly be seen as lying below the cloud cover. It is still necessary to obtain a meteorologist’s expert opinion. The witness stated that the cloud rotated slowly and that the “cloud-ring” was seen in the sky for three days prior to being photographed. The report, along with 5 photographs, which was presented to OVNI.NET has been referred to Venezuela‘s CEINPLA to research the events on-site.

This sighting is similar to the one which occurred in 1957 over Fort Belvoir, Virginia USA. At that time a soldier photographed a ring floating over the base and managed to take a few snapshots of the ring object converting into a lenticular cloud, thus disguising its presence. See: http://www.rense.com/general3/ring.htm).

Another report was received from Mexico’s CAFE organization which confirms the report received from the anonymous photographer.

On June 20th, one day earlier, a young woman witnessed a black ring suspended in the air which became larger and vanished into the clouds, which darkened in turn. This episode occurred in the skies over Caracas at 6:45 p.m.
