Guinness World Records recently posted a video on YouTube of a new record: The most drones airborne simultaneously. The incredible light show included 3,051 drones, handily beating the former world record of 2,066 drones.

The record was broken by Shenzhen Damoda Intelligent Control Technology Co., Ltd. in Zhuhai, Guangdong, China.
