A Chinese city has set a new world record with a drone light show featuring 11,787 drones. Think about how many that is!

The city of Chongqing just set a new world record with the massive and impressive drone light show. It's been estimated that 100,000 people showed up in the city's downtown to watch the record take place, per Oddity Central. That's a lot of people! That's more than the number of people who go to an NFL game! The drones took several shapes in the sky and even wrote out some messages. Check out a viral video of the new world record below!

Some of the designs written by the drone light show included stuff from Chinese history and culture--including colorful flowers and detailed skylines. It's unbelievable what they're able to do up there.

Have you ever seen a drone light show like this? There are some incredible ones here in the States and you don't have to go to China to see something like this. Although, seeing something of that magnitude is clearly rare as it set the new world record.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
