Dan Aykroyd on Morris County UFOs and vodka

Dan Aykroyd was in Morris Plains promoting his new brand of vodka, Crystal Head on Thursday, April 9th. Morris Plains is home of Chris Russo and Joe Rudy, who in January and early February claim to have released helium balloons with traffic flares tied to them from a field in Hanover Township on five separate occasions in what they called a “social experiment” to debunk the pseudoscience of UFOs.
I say ‘claim’ because the descriptions of the balloons with flares only matched some of the reports from around the area.

Aykroyd, being a bit of a UFO enthusiast answered questions and commented on the Russo/Rudy incident.
