Jerred Nelson's remarkable journey from a seasoned military aviator and US Army 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 the unknown. With a solid foundation in Aviation Science and Space Studies, Jerred's nearly four-decade-long career in aviation has seamlessly transitioned into a passionate inquiry into phenomena 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 MUFON's Experiencer Resource Team a year later, offering a compassionate and informed touchstone for abductees 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 UAPs. Furthermore, as a contributing member of the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU), he is at the forefront of efforts to bring a rigorous, evidence-based approach to the study of these phenomena, bridging the gap between anecdote and academia.

Jerred Nelson'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 UFOs 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 a critical eye.
