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 extent of his interested...”
All I needed to know.
If he stays out of politics, more power to him.
Is this what Dan is doing with his time these days? Haven’t seen him an any movies for a while.
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?
Sorry but Dan is a bit delusional. Given the laws of physics and the immense distances involved it is simply not possible for an alien mechanical or biological entity to visit Earth or us them. However given the fact that we have been transmitting in analog for over one hundred years and in logarithmic digital for nearly forty, there is a chance an advanced civilization has heard us and return messages are on the way.
Not even with wormholes?
“Given the laws of physics and the immense distances involved it is simply not possible for an alien mechanical or biological entity to visit Earth or us them.”
Obviously you never heard the phrase, “warp speed, Mr. Sulu”
;-)
Dan Aykroyd has gone crazy, at least hes just crazy in a rather harmless way unlike obama and his cohorts
No. “Wormholes” are theoretical distortions of the time/space continuum that if they truly existed would probably last no more than a few milliseconds, much less be a pathway for interstellar travel. However that is not to say that there are not other advanced civilizations within this galaxy and given that it is speculated that there are hundreds of billions of galaxies, innumerable others. Virtually impossible that they will visit us or each other but it is not impossible that they could become aware of each others existence via transmissions, have established “networks” that communicate with each other and relay information that probably takes over one hundred years to receive and answer a message. The “visit” that UFO enthusiasts can best hope for is that someone out there has received some of the enormous transmissions humans have sent over the past one hundred years into space and sees fit to answer. Now that would be interesting.

Waiting for extraterrestrials to notice an obviously manufactured device clinging to a comet hurtling thru space and wonder where the heck it came from...good plotline for a movie anyhow...
Actually a mechanical device clinging to an asteroid would take well over 100,000,000 million years travelling at a very rapid average speed to reach the nearest star which probably has no intelligent life even if it has orbiting planets.
Well yeah...was just pondering a possibility.
Dan’s in that new James Brown biopic, playing Brown’s agent. Haven’t seen it yet, but he got good reviews for his performance.
The “laws of physics” as we currently know it are woefully incomplete. While I am fully cognisant of the vast distances that separate the stars. (play around withe “celestia” program for a while and you’ll get a feel of it.) There is no way that I could say that anything is impossible. There is still much in the universe that we do not now understand. Heck, we still can’t say whether or not gravity is an actual force or if it is just something that arises from the nature of space itself. Personally, I think we are only scratching the surface of what can ultimately be known.
MUFON may well be way off base, but I think there is much going on in the world that we are not privy to.

You are underestimating human race! In fact the fastest ever spacecraft (Helios-B?) was clocked at 240,000 km per second in 1970s. It would take no more than 22 thousand years to reach the closest star to Earth other than Sun which is Proxima Centaura at that speed.
