Former Saturday Night Live performer Dan Aykroyd has built a sideline as a researcher into UFOs and tried to create an investigative program called Out There that was cancelled before it aired. Dan Aykroyd Unplugged on UFOs is an unusual combination of an interview with a compilation of striking (albeit blurry and inconclusive) footage of lights in the sky and other unexplained phenomena. Regrettably, Unplugged on UFOs undercuts itself by mixing compelling, inexplicable video (including footage from the Mexican air force and of the widely-seen Phoenix Lights) with more dubious images (like Billy Meier's discredited photos of spaceships in Switzerland). The movie also contains interviews with former astronaut Gordon Cooper and excerpts from a lecture by former Canadian Minister of Defense Paul Hellyer, but front and center is Aykroyd (who has appeared in movies ranging from Ghost Busters to Driving Miss Daisy, for which he was nominated for an Academy Award), who muses on topics ranging from sightings around the world to alien abduction to what he would do if he could travel in time. Though Aykroyd's comments on scientific topics are unrevelatory, his descriptions of personal encounters seem lucid and grounded in experience. --Bret Fetzer

 What a mess November 8, 2008
A number of interesting cases are mentioned here, but hardly any of them were discussed in depth. This is supposed to appear like an interview between David Sereda and Dan Aykroyd, but they aren't even in the same room. Footage of Akyroyd nodding his head intercut with Sereda's remarks looks very amateurish. This documentary is very poorly organized as they jump all over the place, and I found it rather irritating to watch. They try to give the impression that Aykroyd is some kind of encyclopedia of UFO knowledge, but it was obviously scripted and not a true "unplugged" interview.
A particular example of content which goes nowhere is the interview with former Astronaut Gordon Cooper. They go into his background and history, then jump to the Roswell crash in New Mexico. When asked about the incident he basically has nothing to say, and then jump onto something else unrelated.
There are many other documentaties, even web-based sources which offer better information than this DVD.
(also, where was the promised O'Hare UFO footage, etc.? it was not on this DVD)
 GREAT FOOTAGE!!!! May 27, 2008

This video has some of the most compelling footage seen to date. A must have for all those who are fascinated by the UFO phenomenon.

I watched this DVD a couple years ago and thought it was phenomenal and very interesting, even despite the fact that the majority of UFO photos it cuts to throughout it's length are composed mostly of Billy Meier created pictures. All of Meier's famous photos were proven to be fakes and hoaxes long ago, why Aykroyd and Sereda chose to litter their DVD with so many proven fakes is beyond me. It certainly doesn't do anything to support their argument for the existance of UFO's.
At this point I want to make it clear to the readers of this review that I am a firm believer that UFO's do in fact exist, what they are, I do not know for sure, but you won't find the answer to that question in this DVD.
Instead, if you watch this DVD, you will be treated to Aykroyd waxing scientific about his thoughts on UFO's, extraterrestrial technology and why his abismal television show Sci-Factor was canceled (he believes the men in black had something to do with it rather than the fact that the show just kind of sucked) all while chain smoking camel cigarettes.
Entertaining to say the least, however it doesn't really do much to advance the study of what UFO's are and where they come from.
Another major point of contention is the fact that Sereda and Aykroyd harp constantly on the alleged NASA UFO footage, most of which had already been debunked, and the most compelling of which was 100% proved to be false in a recent episode of UFO Hunters on the History Channel.
These facts put the majority of Sereda's investigations into question, and while I like the guy and admire his passion for getting to the truth, I fear that his tendency to believe everything he sees and take things at face value, skews his objectivity and hence puts into question all of his theories and findings.
From what I understand, Aykroyd has been working on a sequel to Unplugged on UFO's in which he will unveil supposed footage of the recent mass sighting at the Chicago O'Hare Airport. If this is true, then it might warrant a deeper look, but this DVD does not.
In the end, this DVD is worth a rental, but not a purchase, and doesn't really have much to offer the serious UFO investigator in the way of information or truth.
 For fans of DA: ****; for UFO buffs: ** = *** April 4, 2008
Yes, it's really for fans of Dan A., despite not one mirthful moment. They even had a chance to work in an ironic bit, worthy of the best of SNL: Dan postulates on an alien's ability to detect degenerated atmosphere due to human excess....while he takes a drag on the ol' cancer stick.
Yes, one of the worst inventions on terra-firma, one symbolising all kinds of devolution, physical, social, economic distress is highlighted right along with Ackroyd's well-fed kisser.
Not that he isn't a genius.
Having said all that: for about 9.99 this isn't bad at all: as I wrote, a Dan fan, will have a field day - they'll appreciate his heartfelt, emotional, intellectualizing; for the UFO package completist, there appears to be a ton of rare footage.
And what of that footage: not one frame is analyzed - it's all backdrop for Dan's impressive, obviously researched, ramblings. Like, there's no party-pooper tech.-head to say, well, those three lights keeping pace with the jet are probably reflections off the instrument panel; and the bobbing up and down disc appears to be something meterological; the thing that looks like a mile-long cigar tube...that's really a reflection off a microscopic chip either in the windshield or the camera lens.
The host is very complimentary of his guest...well, that's okay, he expresses genuine joy that this superstar seemed so happy to let himself be taped for a project from an up and coming occult documentary maker.
Sometimes that genuine emotion can lead to questions like, Dan, if you could time travel back, where would you go and what would you do. Dan's answer is actually brilliant - you know, remove one maniac and someone replaces him/her, but then here it comes: he'd want a casual confab with Dr. Al (I guess to explain to him that he should have anticipated quarks).
Aykroyd views on UFOs November 29, 2007
Dan Aykroyd proves himself to be a very well informed person with regard to UFOs and the alien abduction phenomenon. It is good to know that credible and intelligent individuals such as Dan are telling us their beliefs on this matter.
