Dan Aykroyd is no stranger to the unexplained. Image Credit: YouTube / HISTORY Being a co-writer and cast member of the hit 1984 supernatural comedy Ghostbusters, it would be fair to say that Dan Aykroyd is certainly no stranger to the weird and mysterious.

Over the years, he has hosted numerous documentaries and shows about UFOs, ghosts and all sorts of other mysteries and it seems as though he has had a fair few of his own encounters with the unknown as well.

Speaking in a recent interview with Fox News, Aykroyd recounted the time he witnessed a UFO in the sky outside a hotel he had been staying at with a friend in Montreal, Canada.

"The most spectacular one that I saw was about 50 feet away from me and on the 23rd floor of a hotel in Montreal," he said. "We looked out the window, and there was this big grey object, 100 feet long, 50 feet high, with what looks like a bunch of grapes underneath it, you know?""It just sat there, and we got a good look at it for about a minute and a half and then it kind of turned slowly, no sound, and it just drifted off."

"We ran into the hall and saw it drift into the St. Lawrence River."

As for what it could have been, Aykroyd remains unsure.

"Now that thing was not a helicopter, was not any kind of aircraft, it was right there present, right in front of us," he said.

"Whether it was occupied or not, who was operating it, I don't know, I can't say that. But I know what I saw and I know I had a witness with me, and I know that was a vivid, vivid sighting."
