Friday Squid Blogging: Neon Flying Squid

This article is about neon flying squid, not artificial intelligence or cybersecurity. It describes how researchers photographed a group of about 100 neon flying squid gliding above the Pacific Ocean near Tokyo, the first documented evidence of this behavior. The squid achieve this flight by using the hyponome (a funnel-like muscular organ that shoots water out to propel the body), and they spread their arms as they glide.
