Russell Crowe UFO Video: Is Russell Crowe’s UFO ‘Sighting’ For Real? [VIDEO]

Actor Russell Crowe, of the Oscar-winning movie Les Misérables, posted a video to YouTube on Tuesday of what he said is a UFO over Sydney.

The video, just 22 seconds long, is really a series of three still photos spliced together. In each image there is a bright red, horizontal light that changes position in each photo. The video is set to eerie, spectral music and includes a preface in white typeset that reads: "Time lapse photos outside RC's office in Woolloomooloo ... These are real ... UFO?"

The 48-year-old Australian actor said over Twitter that the photos were taken by he and a friend. The actor says that they had set up the camera to capture fruit bats coming out of the caves of a botanic garden outside Woolloomooloo, a suburb of Sydney.

Skeptics, of course, began to call his bluff both on the YouTube page and Twitter. Russell Crowe took to Twitter to defend the video as legitimate. "THESE ARE REAL!", he tweeted.

He then explains in a follow up tweet that the photos were taken with a "Canon 5D, No Flash," and that the light we see "can't be a lens flare because it moves, camera is fixed."

Watch the video, below, and decide for yourself if Russell Crowe is staging a publicity stunt, having an Anne Heche meltdown or if his motives seem sincere.
