A Spectacular Drone Show

Intel have broken a Guinness World Record by putting on a 500-drone light show dazzling the night sky.

Having built and engineered 100 drones in 2015 to put on what was an impressive lights display, the technology company felt that they could go one better and so decided to quintuple the stakes and attempt the impossible; a light show with 500 drones.  

They built the drones especially for the show, programming each one with lighting technology to help produce a mind-boggling effect against the dark sky. What you get is a spine-tingling, futuristic display high in the sky; an unworldly, almost alien picture of 500 separate little machines dancing and creating one simultaneous and incredibly choreographed spectacle.

It’s difficult to explain really, so check it out here, and if you’re not that interested in the thoughts behind it and just want to watch the show, just flick forward to 1:30 (no judgement).
