Mystery solved: Breakdown of Russell Crowe's UFO video

Actor Russell Crowe made some waves this week when he claimed to have captured photos of a UFO outside the window of his office in Australia.

It turns out it really was a UFO…. an Unidentified Floating Object, which has now been identified. Crowe's office sits on a pier in Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens, and via Twitter, Crowe said that he and a friend set up camera to capture fruit bats flying over the Gardens. "Canon 5D, no flash, can't be lense (sic) flare because it moves, camera is fixed," and "The camera is on a balcony – not behind glass."
