While fireworks are always popular on the Fourth of July, drones are starting to add another dimension to the holiday.
Monday night's Fourth of July drone show in North Richland Hills set a new Guinness World Record.
The record is for the "largest aerial sentence formed by multi-roto/drones."
Sky Elements Drones teamed up with the Northeast Tarrant Chamber of Commerce for the record-setting show at Birdville Independent School District plaza that featured 1,002 drones armed with bright LED lights.
The intricate formations of drones created pictures of critical moments in American history, like landing on the moon, and patriotic images like a bald eagle with the American flag.
Sky Elements Drones says it also broke a company record producing 40 shows over the holiday weekend using more than 10,000 drones.
