In 1976, in the sea off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada, during fishing young Rodney Ross and his father saw a huge sea monster. Then the news became a sensation, which has written all the local Newspapers.

42 years later, Rodney Ross told this story at a recent UFO festival in Shelburne County.

"Now some people call this animal the "Monster of the South side", I don't know what it was, but it really was like a monster," says Ross.

The story began in an ordinary Monday, when a now deceased fisherman Eisner penny fished on fishing the area called Pollock Shoal, near Cape Sable. Catch the right amount of fish, penny sailed his boat home and suddenly noticed that behind him in the water should be some large animal.

"It's creating so frightened him that he is at full speed moved to the shore, but the monster was not far behind. And then penny saw out of the water part of the body of this creature. The length of this part was nearly 4 meters. More nabegavshis, the fisherman guided his boat into shallow water where the depth was just over 4 metres. The maneuver worked and the monster backward".

When penny reached the shore, he spoke to many fishermen that I saw, but nobody believed him and Vice versa laughed at him. But two days later on Wednesday on a fishing trip on his boat went to Keith Ross and his son Rodney. They were not among those who heard the story about penny the monster, therefore, without fear went to fish in the same area Pollock Shoal near Cape Sable.

"The day was foggy. We managed to catch more than 200 kg of cod, and then my dad went to eat in the cabin. I stayed and decided to try fishing a new rig with multiple hooks. I threw them over and over again, but the fish somehow was not. And then I heard close to some whistling noise and then saw something large floating in the fog.

I was expecting to see another ship, but that something seemed out of the fog and looked like a huge hump with big eyes at the top of the head. When I say that the eyes were big, I mean that the width of each one was ten inches (25 cm) and they were on the sides, like the eyes of a crocodile"

The frightened teenager ran to her father and then together they watched as the creature swam past their boat. First, it did not seem to pay attention to people, but then looked his eyes directly toward the whale and Rodney.

"From his look my hair stood on end. When it swam close to the boat, it towered above the water by about 3.5 meters, and then greatly opened his mouth. And there was a large number of sharp teeth. These fangs stood one after the other. I got a good look at the visible portion, it was covered with shells, adherent to the skin.

In full length it was about 15-18 meters, and the head was huge and massive, far more than the rest of the body. And the tail fin was vertical (as in fish, but not whales). We watched it being only about 15 minutes, although it seemed much longer. A few times it completely disappeared under water and reappeared. And it was almost silent only could be heard wheezing".

When this huge fish swam, she almost touched his huge body boat, luckily Keith Ross managed to turn the motor and to divert the ship from hitting. According to relatives, his father likely saved them both from death.

When Keith and Rodney sailed away from the monster, they run into a boat that Eisner penny and he heard their story, told about his meeting with the monster, and advised to swim ashore to get away from him. But these three fishermen was not the only one who saw this monster.

After another two days on Friday with the monster was found, the late Edgar Nickerson and his son Robert, who also went fishing in the same unfortunate Pollock Shoal. They noticed a large creature in the distance and managed to swim away before it approached their boat. Later, when the press gathered all the eyewitness accounts, it was found that in 1934, local fishermen reported a huge unknown sea animal.

It is curious that after 1976 other meetings with the monster was not there. Where did this huge fish? Sailed to another place? Died? And who was she? Her description does not sound like a description of the marine dinosaurs that definitely fish and not reptiles. Can be extant any ancient form? The mystery remains unsolved.
