Very interesting. There are a number of Youtube videos with similar radar patterns, but oddly no one coming forward with any explanations - apart from HAARP, UFOs, etc., which of course may be the cause, but I personally doubt it - Occam's Razor and all that.
This is exactly why I was hoping a meteorologist might give an informed opinion to such discussions.
For what it's worth, my suggestions:
1) Radar interference from other radar. If you've ever seen this on a radar display you'll know what I mean. I'm pretty sure weather radar operates on a higher frequency than marine, aviation and most military radar, but what about other military radar - testing? Other other weather radar - testing? Not seen until recently because it's a new radar development.
2) Simply a erroneous data-processing artefact and nothing more.
3) The military experimenting with chaff (metallized plastic about a radar wavelength long dropped from aircraft used to confuse radar for military purposes). I think this is unlikely as the circle is not drifting and I can't imagine how such a large ring of the stuff could be maintained all at once. (Just because I don't know how, doesn't mean it can't be done.)
I saw
THIS with my own eyes (not my photo). One could convince folks (who wanted to believe) that it was HAARP, aliens or some government conspiracy, but easy when you know how.
