On October 13th, 2024 in the small town of Jasper, Minnesota, something quite bizarre occurred. Residents of the town began reporting an unusual sound coming from the local forest just outside of city limits. They described it as a low rumbling mixed with what sounded like whispered voices. Naturally, this sparked concern and curiosity among the townspeople. By mid-morning, a group of residents worked up the courage to venture into the woods to investigate. What they found was nothing short of perplexing.
There, in a remote clearing, was a perfectly circular indentation in the ground surrounding a giant stone engraved with strange hieroglyphs. Kneeling around it were seven deer who appeared to be in some kind of trance. As the confused onlookers scratched their heads trying to make sense of the scene, one of the deer suddenly lifted its head and, with a surprisingly articulate voice, said “we come in peace.” It then motioned to the rock which began to glow and spin, rising up into the air. A bright light engulfed the forest as the deer and stone vanished, leaving behind only more questions for the baffled people of Jasper and perhaps a new chapter in our understanding of life’s persistent mysteries.
