Russell Crowe UFO: Actor Sees Aliens And Captures Them On Film, Tweets Pictures Are Real, YouTuber And Twitter Users Have A Field Day And Call Him Crazy [VIDEO]

Russell Crowe must be losing his mind. The "Gladiator" actor is claiming that he captured still photos of a UFO over the Sydney Botanic gardens.

The actor turned the still photos of a bright red orb looking object into a 23-second YouTube video and tweeted, "UFO? Time Lapse Photos Outside RC's Woolloomooloo Office (THESE ARE REAL!)." The unidentified flying object hovered above trees and beamed a bright yellowish-red light beneath it. The actor received many critics who said the picture was faked, but he defended the photograph and insisted that they were indeed real, "Canon 5D, No Flash, can't be a lense flare because it moves, camera is fixed."

Being a movie star, the actor did admit to adding a special effect... music, "I will grant you at the time the music wasn't playing, also, yes, we have pushed in on the frame..this is 3 photo's in order, nothing added," he said.

YouTube user munchicans2 commended the actor on his effort to stay relevant and becoming a trending topic saying, "Mind you AWESOME publicity stunt!!! seriously its getting all of talking about it whether we say its crap, bullshit, real etc....i give kudos to that!! :))"

Another user, Julian Peterson said that he was in the area but didn't see a UFO, "I was in Woolloomooloo Wharf when this was filmed and I'm afraid I missed it. It could indeed be a yacht coming in."
