A group of orcas was captured on camera engaging in what scientists call "ram-to-fragment" behavior.

This is a still of the Frew Video. It was filmed by Mr. Bob Frew, who was out with his family and friends who were out at Chesapeake Bay when he caught Chessie on camera.🧐🤔🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉🐉
The original video was filmed in May of 1982. He said that the creature looked like “a telephone pole that swims, like, not like a snake. There were four, five, six of us here -- we all saw it”.
Frew’s video was studied by scientists at the Smithsonian who determined that Frew definitely filmed a living creature, but could not identify what it was.
