In our company sightings log, we have a category for every single species we can see in our waters. However, we also have a special category titled "Extreme Exotic Species". Today we entered BELUGA WHALE into that category, thanks to help from Lisa LaPointe and Chris Faist who were first on scene with what they felt was something impossible. We decided it was worth it to take the shot and check out this strange sighting report. As we got on scene, this animal was next to impossible to get close too, but it sure did appear to be the unicorn we suspected it to be. At one point, the animal disappeared for 30 minutes without us getting any kind of incontrovertible proof of the Beluga Whale identification. Luckily, it was our boat that relocated the animal, and it was close enough to us that Capt. Dom was able to get his drone over this pearly white animal and officially prove what we all knew: This was a BELUGA WHALE in San Diego waters! This is the first time a Beluga Whale has been documented anywhere near California, as it is over 6,000 miles from its regular home. We aren't really sure how this sighting was possible, but we hope this footage might help the experts come up with some theories!
