Dan Aykroyd endorses UFO Kickstarter campaign
Open Minds ^ | November 28, 2014 | Alejandro Rojas

Dan Aykroyd, longtime paranormal and UFO enthusiast, has made an endorsement video for the Mutual UFO Network’s (MUFON) Kickstarter campaign.

Aykroyd’s work in TV and film is legendary, and he is a major UFO buff. The extent of his interested was demonstrated in the 2012 documentary Dan Aykroyd Unplugged on UFOs. It is 2 hours of Aykroyd talking about UFOs, which may sound boring to some, but I loved it. His level of knowledge on the history of the phenomena is remarkable. He shows he is at par with some of the top researchers in the field.

A video released recently the MUFON (seen above) shows he is still keeping up with the topic. In the video, he is endorsing MUFON’s Kickstater campaign. The goal of the campaign is to raise $78,000 to remake their website and UFO database. The plan is to make the website and reporting interface more user friendly for researchers and people in the general public who wish to report their personal UFO sighting.

In the video, Aykroyd talks about his longtime interest in the topic of UFOs, and mentions the television series Psi Factor he produced with his brother. He explains that it “touched on inter-dimensional issues.”

Aykroyd then goes on to ask people to help MUFON and its leader, Jan Harzan. He explains that “Jan having a spectacular experience as a 10 year old boy.” See more on this in the video below.

Aykroyd goes on to say, “Anything we can do to help him understand where these aerodynamically sophisticated vessels are coming from and who they are piloted by is really something that will contribute to the betterment of mankind.”

Aykroyd’s commitment to MUFON is sincere. He has been involved with MUFON for many years, and has met with their leadership several times to offer his help.

In the endorsement video, Aykroyd mentions a couple of UFO cases he is interested in, including his continued effort to help pursue evidence for the 2006 Chicago O’Hare International Airport UFO incident, in which United airlines ground crew, among others, saw a disc shape object punch a hole through the clouds as it took of vertically after hovering over a terminal for several minutes.

Aykroyd even mentions Sam Maranto, the MUFON state director of Illinois, who is leading the ongoing investigation of the O’Hare incident.

Aykroyd says, “[UFOs] is a subject that will affect us all as we go into the future.”

At the end of the video he adds that he is recording the endorsement in Topanga Park, where he says there were several UFO incidents in the 70s. He say they were “beautiful sightings. Very peaceful and benevolent.”

MUFON’s Kickstarter campaign ends in a few days. They still have a long way to go to meet their goal. However, they have had well over 200 donors as of the writing of this article.

The “Virtually impossible” assumes:

That the current state of our knowledge is all there is;

That the best way to travel interstellar distances is by using chemical, nuclear, solar, or electrical propulsion;

That the solar system we see today is static and not dynamic as is every other ‘organism’ in existence;

That the putative alien species is not already here and has been for eons;

That the putative aliens did not arise in this solar system millions or billions of years ago, because only Earth supports life as we define it today;

That you do not know who James Clerk Maxwell is, nor why he is the ‘father’ of all modern physics, nor what his field theories proved possible.

I’m not quite getting these groups that ask for money. Do the investors get a percentage? It doesn’t appear they do. Whats the incentive?

Same incentive as those who donate to FR - common interest and a place to "gather" for it.

One of the videos shows that he also has a vodka brand. He may not have to work, but he is still busy. That’s a good thing.

I just watched “Fire In The Sky” and liked it, kind of. Personally I believe only man was created in God’s image but doesn’t mean others weren’t created. I enjoyed C.S. Lewis’ Space Trilogy. The fact that Satan lives here would keep most intelligent beings at a distance.

I understand the “shared” aspect of it, which is what I assumed it to be. But recently, I’ve been reading about for-profit ventures where people are asking for this start-up money like a venture capitalist would, but I don’t see where they are paying back the investors. Are people donating to these start-up businesses without expecting a return? Am I misunderstanding?

He’s mostly coherent in this one, but hits all the leftist talking points (aliens are concerned about what we’re doing to the environment, that humans have been turning this planet into a cinder for 100 years, mentions the then-current war in Iraq at least twice in the first 20 or so minutes, etc). Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.

I watched that years ago, and was impressed by one scene in particular, which showed the alien critter doing the exams was actually in an encounter suit, which being identical (but for size) on the exterior gave the impression that the critters themselves are basically identical.

“I just watched “Fire In The Sky” and liked it, kind of.”

I’m familiar with the area Travis an his friends were logging the night he was abducted. It’s part of my stomping grounds. Lots of weird stuff in the sky around here. Some of it on the ground.

I guess the area isn’t only your stomping grounds. Is it still secluded? When I can I am going to read his books.

Though more people have moved to this region, it is still has some of the most remote areas in the lower 48. So yes, it’s still quite secluded.

Won’t be that way to much longer if the EPA gives approval for the underground alien base expansion. (Lol)

Fermi dismissed the most obvious answer - they're hiding. The same level of technology that could bring them here in the first place across light years would make such hiding easy.

And I believe there are far more reasons for them to hide than reveal themselves. Research is always worthwhile. Involvement and political relations are definitely not.
