Sky Elements Sets Guinness World Record with 5,000-Drone Gingerbread Village Holiday Show
- Sky Elements has achieved a new Guinness World Record title for the largest aerial display of a gingerbread village made out of drones. The festive display was part of a combined Thanksgiving/Christmas drone show. The display encompassed a total of 4,981 drones, exceeding the minimum number of 1,000 UAVs required for the record.
- Coppell, Texas-based Sky Elements collaborated with UVify, to produce an aerial display using drones that would “delight viewers and push the boundaries of what’s possible with drone technology.
- The Mansfield show marked the company’s 11th world record performance. Unlike most of the company’s drone shows, the size and complexity of the show did not provide a designated area for public viewing.
- Sky Elements began posting still images and videos of the performance on social media, which have received incredible interest. The company has a full calendar of holiday drone shows, featuring events across the country.
- To stage such a large show, the Sky Elements graphics team began work several weeks in advance of the show on the challenging job of designing the complex patterns that would create the high-resolution images in the sky. Each drone had to have its batteries charged and checked before the show.
- The stars of the show at Mansfield were UVify’s high-performance IFO choreography swarm drones. Performing together, the UAVs flew the intricate flight patterns necessary to create a high-resolution drone show.
- Sky Elements’ drones are capable of flying the intricate flight patterns necessary to create a high-resolution drone show. Each drone had to have its batteries charged and checked before the show.
- Once the mockups for the display were approved, they were handed off to Sky Elements’ in-house team of animators to create the programs to bring the images envisioned in the mockups to life.
- A Guinness World Record adjudicator physically counted every drone that was in the show to ensure that the show resulted in a legitimate world record.
- Sky Elements began posting still images and videos of the performance on social media and has seen an incredible interest after one of their most recent videos reportedly surpassed 100mn views on Instagram.

Clearing the Air on New Jersey’s Drone Sightings
- Despite widespread claims, the evidence simply doesn’t support the existence of large drones in our night skies.
- What we are witnessing instead is a combination of misidentification, media amplification, and a sociological phenomenon.
- Eyewitness reports and videos overwhelmingly point to misidentification, and the large drones claimed to be seen have turned out to be airplanes, small drones, or celestial objects.
- Federal tracking software also provides data that should dispel the myth of a coordinated fleet of large drones.
- The situation can be attributed to a case of “Mass Sociogenic Technophobia”—a modern form of shared panic driven by fear of technology.
- False narratives about drone sightings risk stalling industry progress, and overreaction to unfounded claims could result in restrictive regulations that stifle innovation and economic opportunity.
- It’s time for leadership from the FAA and federal agencies to communicate clearly and authoritatively that there is no credible evidence of large drones operating over New Jersey.
- The answer to the drone sightings in New Jersey appears to be misidentification with airplanes, small drones, or planets appearing unusually bright.
- Drone industry has a lot to offer, we need facts not speculation for innovation and progress.
- For the sake of safety, progress, and innovation, it’s time to put this story to rest.
