I was covering a different quarter today at school, and
again had the pleasure of instructing the class I taught last quarter. Yes,
they are short three after graduation, but the mixture of personality and
knowledge is still awesome. Of course, they had to take a jab at my choices of
movies and documentaries, but hey, it was still a good day. One of the areas we
did discuss today was UFO Disclosure and the reverse engineering of alien craft,
something that had to take place. It is truly the only way to explain the great
technology jump over the last century. Now, off to documentary week with my
selection, Dan Aykroyd Unplugged on UFOs.
Plot/ David Serada, a UFO enthusiast, interviews the
comedian Dan Aykroyd who claims he has had experiences with alien beings.
Aykroyd expounds on UFO lore and his own beliefs on matters related to
extraterrestrials. Footage of this interview is interspersed with video and
film of these flying objects; video clips of a former Canadian defense minister
speaking on the subject; audio clips of astronauts speaking of strange things
in space; and more.
When I saw this on Netflix, I had to watch it. I knew
Aykroyd was a huge UFO buff and remembered hearing him talk about some footage
for a pilot he was working on that had been confiscated by some agency, and had
hoped that this would delve into that. sadly, it did not. However, it was a
great expose of Aykroyds’ outspoken opinion on the subject (along with some
other ideals). More importantly, it did have some interesting information and
archival footage that added some flair to the production. Unfortunately, while
there were some great conceptual ideas involved and Aykroyd was captivating, the
continued use of the same footage combined with the one-on-one interview aspects
of the entire production took something away from the overall feel. In the end,
this movie had the potential to be great, but somewhat missed the mark. Yes, it
was informative and somewhat entertaining, but it could have been a lot more.
If you are interested in UFOs, it is well worth watching.
