Zimmerman told the Herald, “It was kind of breathtaking to be honest.” He further added, “It didn’t sink in until today. I had a couple lifelong harpoon guys contact me and tell me I saw a unicorn. They said 35 years of being on the water almost every day, they’ve never seen one.” It was a Got Stryper Fishing Charters’ employee, who shared the video on its Facebook page, captioning the sight as “one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen.” It is clearly, one of the fascinating sight that you would love to behold for a longer time.

He further reported that the majestic creature continued to swam alongside his boat for nearly half an hour. The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy stated that though orcas have been spotted off Cape Cod in the past, it is a “very rare” occurrence.
