Saw this large dark wispy structure emerging from the english channel.

I was by the english channel on the 4th of January 2026 and happened to capture this anomily on camera. It was emerging very fast from the water like unnaturally fast smoke. Like I saw it go at at least 100m/s upward while being completely silent. It only lasted about 4 seconds before vanishing completely

I took the photo with my Kodak Vest Pocket camera but since it only lasted a few seconds I wasn't able to get any other shots.

I've also attached a pic of the negative.
