Yes. that's real, just as Liam Neeson's name spelled backwards is "No seen Mail".
I, along with all other people on earth, can be wrong sometimes, and real life is guilty of it.

Reality is subjective. Objective truth is nonexistent, because facts are nothing more than communally agreed-upon assertions. Our perception of the realm is translated and reinterpreted by our brains, and we have no way of empirically verifying our interpretations of reality because we cannot communicate directly with any omnipotent control group. It may very well be that somebody else perceives our world as being filled with giant alien cockroaches. We call him crazy, but can we call him wrong?
That's quite an interesting analysis of what we call reality.
Now, if we assume that reality as we perceive it is not real, then we might as well say that a man who sees giant alien cockroaches while we see none is not seeing reality correctly. Therefore it's only fair to say that the reality seen by us is the real reality, because if we assume that every species, every thing in this universe, including plants, have a different view of reality itself, then which is the "real" reality?
We can't know. We can't truly see anything beyond what our eyes see. That's the reason of why we call "reality" to our perception of what is real and what is not. In other words: no, alien cockroaches aren't real.
