" The world is not especially friendly to believers in UFOs and aliens; anyone claiming to have seen something extraterrestrial in origin is generally assumed to be occupying either a double-wide or a fantasy world (or have just gotten back from a Prince concert). They&amp;#039;re not likely to get a lot of friendly ears, unfortunately, and those who seem respectful are about 98 percent of the time trying to lure the person into an unwitting, brief appearance on Tosh.0. Take heart, though, those of you who have made contact \u2014 you&amp;#039;ve gained a new champion, and he carries a sword. Actor, musician, and all-around brawn machine/notable denizen of earth Russell Crowe has seen the little green light, so to speak, in the form of an unexpected encounter with a supposed unidentified flying object he accidentally captured on camera while trying to record fruit bats outside his Woolloomooloo apartment. (Yes, Russell Crowe lives in a place called Woolloomooloo, and yes, you would suffer a concussion if he looked directly into your eyes and said that word.) We&amp;#039;re certainly not going to weigh in regarding the presence of aliens in the universe or the reliability of Crowe as an interstellar investigator. Though there are predictably skeptics, many of his Twitter followers have already expressed support and belief. In any case, it&amp;#039;s nice for believers out there to have gained an advocate whose sheer intimidation factor lends immediate credibility to their cause. Let us put it this way: If General Maximus tells you intergalactic invaders are on the way, you pick up a damn spear, whatever you believe, and unleash Hell.
