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.

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.
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.
