It was in the "Bild" today, gave Google a try and found this video:

Is it just an unknown lifeform, a shark, or really an alien? It DOES look strange, in any case. I hope it's not an alien, he could have some friends down there ;-)

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.

Very odd indeed. Looks like an ET fish. REALLY weird. And ugly.

If its real...we obviously have many, many species in the deep to discover.

And it was caught after a heavy storm...God knows where the heck it came from...

Very odd, however there is one thing that rings the hoax bell in my mind, well two actually.

1. The look of the 'head' of the creature looks almost cartoonish and kinda man made.

2. The fact that they ate it. Who would have known if this creature was poisonous or not? Either they said this so no more investigations coul dbe mad einto the 'find' or that it was an act of gross stupidity.

On the other hand, an interesting find, would like to know if there will be any follow ups.

It could be alien, but who knows there is a lot of strange things that reside in the deep, things that we know very little about.

And this is what a sturgeon looks like:

That "alien" fish sure looks different, if you ask me. Maybe a relative.

I am with you on this one. It looks almost like the head of a sturgeon and the tail of a sting ray. Go on Google earth and look that the wilderness of Russia. Their are so many lakes and rivers that any different type of animal might be still out their without the rest of world knowing anything about it.

Just looks like a shovel-nosed ray to me.

They do look cool though.

It's a guitarfish. Like an intermediary between sharks and skates/rays.
