On February 19th we had another sighting of one of the animals in the Bay. We were parked at the Marina Green location and spotted something black breaking the surface out in the middle of the Bay off the Western tip of Alcatraz so we decided to move to the Stone Tower Point location hoping we could get a better view of whatever it was.

Bob thought he saw something to his right about 100 yards off shore so he started scanning the area with his binoculars. While he was looking at one spot, all of a sudden, the head, a portion of the upper body behind the head and an arch of another portion of the animal broke the surface exactly where he was looking.

Bob got an excellent view of the profile of the head of the animal and was able to see a squared snout, an eye and a large jowl before the head went underwater. The arch of the animal was at least 5 feet in length and the head and upper portion of the animal was about 5 to 7 feet in length. It was about 5 feet between where the upper portion of the animal entered the water and where the arch came out of the water. The animal submerged before Bill could get any video of it.

A few seconds later, Bob noticed several portions of the animal breaking the surface about 50 yards further out in the Bay. Bill was able to see the head of the animal and a large arch directly behind the head for a second or two and was trying to take some video of it but a motorboat going West to East came right into the area so the animal submerged before Bill could get any video.

About 30 seconds later we both noticed the animal break the surface again about 500 yards further West from where we last saw it. Bill was able to get a few seconds of video showing a small portion of an arch breaking the surface.

When we watched the video at slow speed, besides the arch, we could see a few small portions of the animal break the surface after the arch submerged and then a long black image can be seen just below the surface of the water where the arch submerged.
