Swarm drone specialist UVify has achieved a new Guinness World Record for the most drones airborne simultaneously. The Seattle-based company recently orchestrated a breathtaking drone show of 5,293 IFO aircraft that lit up the night sky in Songdo, South Korea.

The IFO drone fleet created impressive patterns and visuals in the sky, highlighting advanced programming and drone control technology. The record-breaking feat showed off the drones’ abilities for entertainment and precision flying, surpassing all previous records.

The achievement was officially recognized and verified by a Guinness World Records adjudicator on-site, who commended UVify for their execution and innovative approach to aerial entertainment. Take a look:
