Actor Russell Crowe is convinced that he saw a UFO in Australia on Tuesday and even posted a video to prove it. He has since tweeted several times defending the footage.

According to News.com.au, Crowe tweeted that he saw flying objects over the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney. He and a friend were trying to film fruit bats, but saw something very strange instead.

Crowe, who is very active with his Twitter account, continued to respond to those who questioned the video’s authenticity. “Canon 5D, No Flash, can't be a lense flare because it moves , camera is fixed,” he wrote. In another tweet, he stressed that the only thing added was the 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

You can check out the video of the ‘UFO’ below. Is it real? If you believe the Gladiator actor, it must be.

Crowe recently starred in Les Miserables and joined the cast to sing during the Oscars. Fans will next see him in Noah and Man of Steel. Maybe it was the son of Krypton he saw?
