Yip, seen it. But can't distinguish it between a porgy or a basking shark tbh. Is anyone sure which one it is?
Hope they didn't stress it too much either way.
Someone has put the video onto YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4G_bxYd1k44

its a basking shark, look at the dorsal and tail fin, classic pose when filter feeding on the surface. Nice to see one on the east coast.
