If you thought you had seen it all, wait till you watch this viral video. A squirrel appears to be hovering mid-air over an air conditioner condenser unit, and the internet just can’t keep calm.
In the clip, the fan of the condenser is spinning at full speed. The squirrel’s fluffy tail flutters wildly while its body seems to stay still, bouncing up and down as if it were flying like a piece of paper caught in the breeze.
Here’s the viral video:

The caption on the viral video even adds a comic touch: “Squirrel doing parkour on the AC unit.”
The video was posted by the popular Twitter (X) account Science Girl, known for sharing quirky science content. Within hours, it sparked thousands of reactions. Some viewers were convinced it was real, while others insisted it was the work of artificial intelligence.
OrissaPOST could not independently verify the authenticity of the video. But in a follow-up comment, the original poster clarified: “I’m so sorry I forgot to add, this is AI.”

That didn’t stop the confusion. When someone asked Grok — an AI chatbot — whether the clip was real or fake, it replied that it “seems to be real.” This only added fuel to the ongoing debate about how convincing AI-generated viral videos can look today.
Whether real or AI, one thing is certain — this hovering squirrel has officially earned its spot in the internet’s hall of fame for bizarre viral videos.
