00:00 to share with you now. Take a good look at this footage shot earlier this week
00:04 off the coast of Newport Beach. It looks kind of like special effects right from a sci-fi
00:09 movie but it's actually a rare glimpse of dolphins swimming through glowing
00:13 blue bioluminescence. It's very cool. It is very cool. Look at the only thing that to
00:21 me I think it's kind of gross because what's causing all of the the
00:25 bioluminescence are organisms so it agitates it. That's right. So if you're
00:30 swimming in it and you just happen to swallow something. I've heard the surfers
00:35 are not thrilled about. No. Yeah. Yeah. They call you know these big algae blooms. By
00:43 day it's kind of gives the ocean a red and brown hue-ish look. Not fun again to
00:49 swim in or to surf. But it is beautiful. But at night yes you said it Bobby it
00:54 gets a little agitated. It gets a little worked up and creates these fantastic
00:59 pictures. The glow. A lot of folks were gathering across all our coastal
01:04 communities to watch again those crashing waves and seeing that also the
01:08 blue glow when the waves crash. Cool stuff there.
