Approximately 100 neon flying squid rose from the Pacific and glided near a research boat for about 30 metres.
Researchers captured the first known photographs of squid gliding in formation, behavior previously only rumoured.
The squid use a hyponome, a funnel-like muscular organ, to jet water and propel themselves both in and out of the sea.
