The current title is from the game's internal data.
A Vaporwing (as named in game files) is a model of machine present in SkyTown, Elysia. They appear to be flashing rings, and float about with no noticeable forms of propulsion. They can be shot, and when they are, they explode. One notable location where they can be found is Arrival Station. These mechanisms have an unused Logbook entry in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption that indicates they were intended to have more use.
