📍 Location

📝 Description

Latest publicly available synthesis: On January 25, 2025, in the Gatewood District of Oklahoma City, a jellybean-shaped object with a plasma-like interior was observed hovering around 1,500 feet for roughly four hours. The sighting was documented by Chris Frederick and observed by his wife and neighbors. Frederick attempted to use a drone for a closer look but encountered electromagnetic interference and a low-battery warning. University of Oklahoma physics researchers reviewed the imagery and suggested the craft was most likely a drone with a red light, not a true unidentified object. Local coverage by KOCO 5 and related outlets followed, contributing to ongoing discussion within ufology communities. NUFORC later lists another Oklahoma City sighting in March 2025 with sparse details.
