UFO/UAP Research in the Northland

 

It’s Back!!
Northland MUFON’s “Anniversary EBEN”
“The Glowy”

Last year’s “Golden EBEN” was such a hit that we just had to do it again — but with a twist.
Introducing “The Glowy” — our one-of-a-kind, glow-in-the-dark Anniversary EBEN!
You can’t buy it. You can’t find it anywhere else. Only one will ever be made — and you could be the one to take it home!

Here’s how it works:

Every $5 donation gets you one ticket in the drawing for The Glowy.
The drawing will be held the day after our December 20, 2025 meeting.
The winner will be notified by email and announced on our Northland MUFON website.

It’s all part of our fun-filled annual fundraiser supporting the work of Northland MUFON — from investigations and outreach to presentations and education.
So don’t miss out! Help us keep the lights on (and glowing) for another year of discovery and wonder.

We were upstairs in our sleeping area, which is like a loft with a hatch door, and I had my brother on top of the hatch door, and me and my other buddy were on top of him holding that hatch door, because whatever was down there was just beating up on everything and slamming on that hatch door trying to get up there.

A Close Encounter Over North Dakota
Jer gives Part I of his presentation of "They are Here" at the March 2025 Northland MUFON Public Meeting. They Are Here: Prepare to embark on an exhilarating journey through space and time with Jer as your guide. This presentation takes you to the very edges of human understanding, where science, mystery, and the unknown intersect. It begins with a deep dive into the intriguing concepts of the Drake Equation—the mathematical model that attempts to predict the number of intelligent civilizations in our galaxy—and the Fermi Paradox, which questions why, given the vastness of the universe, we’ve yet to encounter any signs of extraterrestrial life. But Jer will challenge these well-known scientific ideas and reveal a compelling new perspective: What if these two great minds have it completely wrong? What if the answers we’ve been searching for have been hidden in plain sight all along? Delve into the fascinating possibility that extraterrestrial visitors have been interacting with Earth far longer than we’ve ever imagined. How long ago did these advanced beings first begin their journeys to our planet, and why? What secrets have they been quietly observing and influencing across centuries? More importantly, why have we not been able to find conclusive evidence or hear the full stories from those who have had first-hand encounters with the phenomenon? Could it be that the evidence has always been around us, subtly woven into history, or hidden in plain sight within the narratives of those brave enough to speak out? In this thought-provoking presentation, Jer takes us beyond the conventional boundaries of what we think we know. Buckle up, as we explore the mysteries of the cosmos, uncover hidden truths, and ask the questions that could change everything we thought we knew about life beyond Earth. This journey will leave you questioning, wondering, and perhaps even rethinking the very nature of our existence in the universe. Jerred Nelson’s remarkable journey from a seasoned military aviator and US Army Warrant Officer to a leading figure in the investigation and study of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) underscores a life dedicated to exploring the frontiers of the known and unknown. www.NorthlandMUFON.com is a 501(C)3 Non-Profit Organization that relies solely on donations to operate.

Report a Sighting

Have you seen aerial phenomenon you can’t explain? Many of us at one time or another have seen something unusual in the sky that defies explanation. Often times these anomalous encounters can be accounted for by ordinary terrestrial objects. Nonetheless, there are times when individuals are convinced by the aberrant nature of what they have seen to believe they may have spotted something extraordinary.

If you’ve witnessed something you believe to be unidentified aerial phenomenon, MUFON would like to hear from you! Click the button below to file a report with MUFON international.

Become a Field Investigator

Expert field investigation is at the forefront of MUFON’s purpose. Seeking to separate the explainable from the enigmatic, highly trained and qualified field investigators are needed to investigate UFO reports. With UFO sightings on the rise, the role of a trained investigator has become more important than ever.

If you’re at least 18 years old, are able to acceptably pass a personal background check, and be willing to execute and agree to a MUFON non-disclosure agreement, you can apply to become a MUFON field investigator.

Become a Field Investigator

Listen to KQDS every third Thursday of the month at 8:40 am to hear our own Tom Maher, Minnesota State Director. Once a month Tom will give the radio audience an update and share some facts. KQDS can be heard on FM 94.9 in Duluth or 106.3 in the Hibbing area. If you missed the broadcast, you can hear it here.
