Russell Crowe tweets footage of 'UFO' sighting - video

Russell Crowe has tweeted about his sighting of what he suggests could be a UFO.

The 48-year-old actor posted a link to a video of photographic stills which show a bright red light shining over the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney.



He explained that he and a friend had set up the camera to film fruit bats when they captured the footage from his office, near his home in Woolloomooloo, Sydney.

He commented that the resulting pictures were "a big surprise".

The clip has received mixed reactions. While some have left comments supporting the Les Misérables actor's theory, most are sceptical and have suggested that the 'UFO' is just the result of lights reflecting off the window.

Crowe has responded to cynics, tweeting: "Canon 5D, No Flash, can't be a lens flare because it moves, camera is fixed."
