Dan Aykroyd takes UFOs out for a spin (aliens telepathically announce visits to him)

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Dan Aykroyd has a new video on the market, but the ex-conehead and one-time ghost-buster says he's not the star. The UFOs are.

"My recommendation is to skip through me and get to the film footage, the digital images," he said on Tuesday, talking about the 90-minute "Dan Aykroyd Unplugged on UFOs" from Union Station Media.

"This is where the whole thing starts to become more credible," he said of footage of unidentified flying objects from around the world.

"This is the real stuff. I'm not alone on this. There are many, many people interested in UFOs," he said.

The DVD, which went on sale Tuesday, is a conversation between Aykroyd and UFO expert David Sereda interspersed with footage of unexplained objects in flight and comments from experts like former astronaut Gordon Cooper. There are no jokes.

Asked if he was worried that a comic actor might not be taken seriously discussing an edgy subject like extra-terrestrial visitors, he said "It's not a concern."

"Enough people know I've had an interest in this for years," he said, speaking from New York. "People know I'm interested in the paranormal."

Aykroyd said he has had two personal encounters with the unknown.

One occurred on Martha's Vineyard, he said, where he sighted "high altitude, glowing magnesium discs travelling at 20,000 miles (32,190 km) an hour at 100,000 feet (30,480 metres). ... wing to wing, edge to edge."

Four people with him saw the same thing, he said, and while one expert later told him it was probably a meteor formation of some sort "I believe they were visiting the earth, passing by on the way to somewhere else."

"The second was a telepathic experience," he said, which happened at a lake retreat in Canada.

"I was asleep with my wife and I woke up about 3 a.m. wanting to go outside into a field and look at the sky," he said, telling his wife, "They want me to see. They want me to see." She told him to forget it.

The next morning, he said, newspapers and radio reports from across the region were filled with eyewitness accounts from some of the estimated 12,000 people who saw a pink spiral in the sky.

The military later said it was a Chinese rocket, Aykroyd said, but he believes he was being summoned and regrets ignoring the call.

Was watching the enhanced version of Ghostbusters, with notes showing up on the bottom of the screen while the movie runs. Apparently, Aykroyd wrote a lot of the technical dialog for the script, and believes in most of the stuff on there (I don't know about the Marshmallow Man).

How does he know they were made out of magnesium?

Because he caught it! He stuned it! He carved it up!

And ate it in a salad with fiberglass!

They would appear as dots of white light...not winged aircraft...at that velocity and altitude.

Aykroyd has left the building.

yep- This is done somewhat tongue and cheek by Dan -

But in the interviews he is giving you kind of wonder...

He was on a local radio station today and I thought

it was going to be a spoof... his first 2 Minutes of

the interview WAS PRAISING AL FRANKEN!! and hoping he

runs for the SENATE!!

He says he will help out AL when he announces!

Yep-hanging with Belushi warped some brain cells.

I was obsessed with UFOs ....... when I was 12.

I rode in one of these UFOs once, and I have to say it was a lot of fun. But... what's up with that an*l probing? I mean, they fly three million light years to earth, and then they want to....

Oh, never mind.

I went looking for thid DVD today, but I couldn't yet find it. It should be entertaining, to say the least.

As long as he doesn't ask me to join a cult, wear sweats, and cut my nads off, he can talk all he wants about UFOs.
