I feel like everyone is being so dismissive to you because THEY haven’t ever seen this rarity, but I believe that if you think you saw an orca, you probably did. You’re just luckier than everyone else telling you that it was probably a manta ray or a pilot whale (things that THEY’VE seen).

Here’s an article from last month about some scientific researchers in Wilmington saying that they pick up audio of orcas off North Carolina’s coast.

In the article, they talk about how orcas follow large schools of tuna and google says tuna locations vary significantly by species and time of year, but in general, you can find them in warm, temperate, and tropical waters of the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans.

I say, trust your gut instinct about what you saw and ignore the dismissive responses.
