I was chatting with a guy on a boat in Thailand, and from the corner of my eye I saw this bird suddenly plunge into the sea.
But before I could even react, another flying fish came out of the waves – and I knew what I was seeing.
(I believe it was the boat’s hull itself that had sent them on a run – though this, the flying/gliding is normally a flight-resource (from predators) that this species of fish has).

The people claiming this is AI have to be joking, people can’t possibly have fallen that far down the idiocracy route to not know flying fish is a thing.

Not a cod, it’s a flying fish. Saw tons while in Navy at sea…along with sunfish.

Just to make this clear Cod and flying fish are not the same thing. Flying fish are 100% real, and them taking flight is a threat response.

And that is how man grew wings. It started with a fish flying out of water. We call it, evolution.

Once alone at the helm of a sailboat in the middle of the night in the Atlantic with no warning I was struck in the neck by a flying fish. To say I was surprised would be to put it mildly.

Such cool critters. They’re the astronauts of fish

Do seagulls eat these fish too? Or do they see them as birds momentarily? Not that birds don’t eat other birds but still

To the people saying A.I. I’ve literally witnessed this in person. In Jamaica we were on our way to a snorkeling spot when these fish started coming up out of the water into the air, low just 6” or so above the waves. There were dozens. Suddenly I saw a fin poking above the water like in jaws, approaching from the rear of our boat. Then a few more joined it. It was a pod of dolphins chasing those same fish, and swimming up to and right along the side of our boat.
The angle and slow mo make it appear like they are slightly higher and going further through the air than they do in reality. Flying Fish are very much so real.

I wonder which mode of transportation they find more fun.

Saw some while I was on a cruise ship once and thought I had discovered some kinda alien species or I was going crazy lol from the distance I was at , I couldn’t see this much detail, it just looked like a bunch of small fish gliding above the water.

I did a “book report” on flying fish when I was in like 1st or 2nd grade and think about them from time to time but this is the first time I’ve seen one since then and my god they *are* as majestic and cool as I remember lol no wonder I gravitated toward them for that “report” (them and ocelots)

I saw these in the Azores while taking a small boat around the islands! Seriously one of the craziest things I’ve seen in my life.

Saw a bunch of these guys while on a ferry from Saipan to Tinian – the boat seemed to be freaking them out & making them fly

I remember the first time we spotted these boogers while on a cruise. So cool.

I wonder how these fellas would function after a few tens of millions of years. Would they become fish raptors in the sky?

Nice try, I know a CIA drone when I see one.

Other fish see flying fish as astronauts

So how many more million years before these things start flying for real? Like inverse dolphins?
