Village residents from the Rostov region of Russia caught a weird creature two weeks ago after a strong storm in the Sea of Azov. The shark-looking creature was producing strange squeaky sounds. The fishermen originally believed that they had caught an alien and decided to film the monster with the help of a cell phone camera. The footage clearly shows the creatures' head, body and long tail. The bizarre catch was weighing almost 100 kilograms, the Komsomolskaya Pravda reports.

However, ufologists and scientists were greatly disappointed when they found out that the fishermen had eaten the monster. They said that they were not scared of the creature so they decided to use it as food. One of the men said that it was the most delicious dish he had ever eaten.

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Talk about a fish story! Vodka and humor must somehow be involved in this whopper of a story! Any leftovers to do DNA testing?

Silly! I wasn't talking about you, I was referring to the fishermen. I can't imagine eating something I might think was an alien.

NO, we are not to assume it tasted some what like a Yeti. It probably tasted like Chicken.

The picture is of a Guitarfish. Even the specific shot looks familiar. I'm not sure it is a new picture. I'm also not sure it is poor enough quality to be a cel phone picture.

The you Abe for the ID.

By the way did you ever see Radio Days where Dianne Wiest wins a fish-identifying contest on the radio?? Classic Woody Allen film.
