A commercial fisheries pilot, Carl Sbarounis, reports spotting an extremely rare shark while flying over the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California, after receiving a call from his friend, Ryder DeVoe, who alerted him to the sighting. The account describes the shark swimming through clear waters.
The reporting centers on the circumstances of the observation—an aerial look during work activities and a rapid exchange of information leading to the sighting being noticed from above. It does not provide additional details about the shark’s species, size, exact location, time, or any scientific confirmation beyond the observers’ account. With only one outlet providing information, there is limited variation in emphasis across sources, and no independent verification or expert assessment is cited in the available material.
