Description

After speaking with Chris Frederick, I’m following up with additional details about the January 24, 2025, UFO sighting near Will Rogers World Airport. Chris, a licensed drone pilot with a decade of experience, along with his wife Christi and 15 to 20 neighbors, witnessed an object that he described as a “jellybean with plasma moving inside it.” While attempting to capture footage with his drone, he encountered unusual electromagnetic interference, an issue he typically only experiences near strong cell or TV towers. Despite multiple recalibrations, his drone experienced a sudden battery drain and was unable to record video until after landing. The object remained visible for nearly four hours, hovering silently about 1,500–2,000 feet above the ground before vanishing. The footage was later reviewed by KOCO Channel 5, the University of Oklahoma’s science department, and the Oklahoma Science Museum, all of whom were unable to identify the object.

This is my second post regarding this sighting, and it includes video footage directly from Chris Frederick and other witnesses. Given that the object displayed no aviation lights or transponder signals despite being near a major airport’s flight path, the implications for air traffic safety are significant.
