Meeting Re-Cap:

3/15/25 They Are Here – Jerred Nelson, MUFON Assistant State Director for Minnesota and North Dakota, Northland MUFON Co-Director, Field Investigator, member MUFON Executive Committee of the Experiencer Resource Team.

The meeting was held via Zoom only because of inclement weather in North Dakota and Minnesota, but it was very well attended online!

Listening to Jerred tell of historical accounts from ancient people all the way up to the current time frame, you know that he is very well read.  From thousand year-old accounts of beings in silver white suits and crafts that defy nature, Renaissance paintings of spaceships since the early 100s A.D., to old paintings of Jesus and Mary above a saucer shaped cloud that is “snowing” angel hair? Angel Hair? What’s that? More recent accounts of Angel Hair have been analyzed to be composed of boron, silicon, calcium and magnesium. Jerred also covered crop circles of which there are hundreds around the world that cannot be explained.  If you look into the science behind crop circles you will note that it would be almost impossible to hoax unless you have a portable microwave out in the grain fields. There are scientifically sound ways to determine if the circles are man made vs “real” one and there have been circles found in recent times including in fields in western Minnesota!

Arecibo Message – This was a radio signal sent by the Arecibo Observatory by a group of scientists, including Frank Drake, creator of the Drake equation, and Carl Sagan, among others in hopes of communicating with extraterrestrial life.  The message should arrive at its destination in 25,000 years!  However, the Arecibo Message showed up as a large crop circle in England that supposedly answered the original message that was sent, but this is still up for discussion.

Jerred also reviewed the Drake Equation, which is fascinating! There are potentially 4 trillion to 20 quintillion planets in the observable universe, so there are likely many more planets like ours that can sustain life.

The Fermi Paradox – Enrico Fermi was a SETI physicist who posited in 1950 that there should be plenty of signs that extraterrestrial life has been here for 270 million years, but why don’t we see them?

Book: A Hypnotists Journey to Atlantis by Sarah Breskman Cosme, is a book about what happened eons ago. Sarah, a Level 3 Practitioner of Delores Cannon’s QHHT, has helped many people through hypnosis. Sarah soon discovered that some of her clients, who have no connection to other clients, started telling tales of Atlantis and Lemuria. And these stories corroborate each other! According to Sarah’s clients, after the fall and destruction of Atlantis, the survivors made their way to Ancient Egypt, where they discovered the Sphinx was already there! Come to find out there are many more Sphinx’s around the world that haven’t been discovered yet.

Dogon Tribe – Currently living in Mali, in the middle of the desert on the continent of Africa. At one point in the past the Dogon lived on the Atlantic Coast of modern Nigeria. Stories passed down through generations state they have received knowledge thousands of years ago from Star People called the Nommo. Nommo are amphibious beings who are still celebrated today by the Dogon people. The Ancient Dogon knew things about celestial objects and their respective size and orbits, long before these things were confirmed by modern astronomers.

This is a fascinating presentation, especially for anyone is on the fence about this phenomenon. If you are able to attend any of the expos this year in Brainerd or Bemidji hopefully you can catch Jer’s presentation! Or better yet, join MUFON, sign up to volunteer or become a Field Investigator! We would love to have you.

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 – Bio

Jer’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. With a solid foundation in Aviation Sciences and S

pace Studies, Jer’s nearly four-decade-long career in aviation has seamlessly transitioned into a passionate inquiry into phenomenon that challenge our understanding of the world and beyond.

His deep-rooted interest in the mysteries that lie beyond the skies led him to join the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) in 2019, where he quickly ascended to the role of Field Investigator, delving into the investigation and documentation of UFO sightings and encounters. His commitment to understanding and providing support to those who have had direct experiences with unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) saw him join MUFONs Experiencer Resource Team a year later, offering a compassionate and informed touchstone for abductees, or experiencers, navigating the complexities of their experiences.

In his current roles as the Assistant State Director for Minnesota and North Dakota MUFON and Co-Director of Northland MUFON, Jerred occupies a pivotal position in the regional and national network of researchers dedicated to the scientific study and understanding of UAP’s. Furthermore, as a contributing member of the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU), he is at the forefront of efforts to being a rigorous, evidence-based approach to the study of these phenomena, bridging the gap between anecdote and academia.

Jer’s dedication to the exploration of the unknown, backed by his extensive experience in aviation and military service, positions Northland MUFON as a vital conduit for the investigation and understanding of UFO’s and related phenomena. Through his leadership and expertise, Northland MUFON stands as a testament to the pursuit of knowledge and the importance of approaching the mysteries of the universe with an open mind and critical eye.
