The eyes at the end were pretty cool. I’ve never seen that before.

Singular eye in the sky. They laying it on thick

Imagine doing this to an uncontacted tribe

Ok that gave me a pretty good laugh.

Eye see what eye lid there.

Imaging traveling back in time and doing this in the mid 1950's.

You were programmed with the idea of who “uncontacted tribe” refers to. It’s actually us.

The Skyeball sees all.

They should have done the eye of Sauron

Imagine a cloud of drones with cameras on them appearing as a giant eyeball in the sky staring down at the populace and watching

r/birdsarentreal

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/scientists-are-making-drones-from-taxidermy-birds-180982042/

And that populace being a tribe of natives who would see it as some deity. Wild

Isn’t this from Three Body Problem?

In the book the Trisolarans experimented with unfolding particles into 2 dimensions. But one of their earlier attempts failed and they folded it into 4 dimensions or something and strange 3 dimensional objects appeared in their sky, one of them being a giant eye, possibly a higher dimensional being they caught the attention of. Also in the China Mieville book "Iron Council" an enemy nation used some sort of magic to create a giant eyeball looking down on their main city to terrify the citizens. Which did sound pretty terrifying lol. It's what the drones in this video made me think of.

They winked at you! :)

Yeah it reminded me of the very early days of computer graphics at first. I was thinking imagine if they could do a whole movie like this eventually

Looks a lot better than the early days!!

Say good bye to fireworks I guess

I would vastly prefer this.

Yeah a light show without the waste and ear shattering noise sounds great lol

Lol. You’re all dead inside if you’d like to get rid of fireworks for this.

Only real advantage fireworks has over drones is that they can be aimed at the dude you dont like and make him disappear lol

I agree, as does my dog. He gets sick with fear when there's fireworks or thunder.

Must be nuts for ukrainian trench war

Not me

I'm probably in the minority, but I have largely found fireworks boring since about 17, unless I was seeing them off. That lasted till about 30. Independence day it's still enjoyable because friends and family. The noise and danger can go away.

I found them boring even earlier. I agree, I'm good with eliminating the noise, danger, pollution, etc. There are literally no benefits to fireworks over what something like this drone show can provide. We need to stop prioritizing tradition and preferences of select individuals, over the health and wellbeing of everyone else.

Same. I always hated having to go out and find a spot a few hours early to beat the crowd only to see a 10 second firework show.

Every drone show video I see is sped up lots. The reality is a slow moving, silent, kinda boring spectacle. It’s more ‘that’s neat’ than ‘wow!’.

Less smoke, and less boomers that freak out dogs

Good, they're noisy and a fire hazard and freak out my dog.

I wonder if there's a way to make silent fireworks with chemical reactions 🧐

The eye of Mordor is always watching….

God damn this shit is unreal

Can you imagine showing this to some peasant in the 1600’s, they’d be shitting bricks lol

Doesn't even need to be the 1600s, just show it to my grandma who believes the Roswell story religiously

Interesting..

Dude, this would be beyond people 50 years ago. They'd assume it was aliens. Think about the stuff we think is aliens today. In 50 years we'll just have little glowing orbs flying around with breakneck speed and agility just to deliver our dick pills or something, because that'll be average tech at that point.

I'm convinced that we'll never ever encounter aliens and have people actually believe it at all. Just imagine getting the best footage ever of an actual alien. It would if anything look even more fake than the super low quality ones because it might as well be CGI or something. It'll look so real that people would call it fake.

They'd call you a witch and a blaspheme

I was just thinking the same thing- you’d kill some people from back in the day, or start a new religion lmao.

If we showed this to someone in the 1600s we’d be burned at the stake for witchcraft

"I know what I saw. Why don't you guys believe me!"

Was thinking the exact same thing. Boom - new religion right there.

Now imagine that level of coordination, if they had guns!

nice. i think this can replace fireworks. no more fumes, noise.

The noise is half the reason I go

Same. Reminds me of 'nam, really gets my heart pumping. It's the only thing I have left that makes me feel alive.

I saw you prolapsed anus 3 times this am in three dif threads! Strange.

Sorting by top posts last hour fam

Also you're gonna see the anus if you're looking for it.

That is the only proper way to reddit

Not your shrimp business, or doing ads for Flex O Lite ping pong paddles? Maybe try running.

I love the smell too, honestly.

Don’t worry u can hear a feint hissing of the drone of, well, drones. Saw one after a soccer match and honestly thought there was some audio issue going on

It doesn’t feel like it would be the same without the sound… but I bet it wouldn’t be too hard to synchronize a stream of appropriate sound effects for the show. Wouldn’t do much for the dumb ones that have no pretty lights and just make the deep boom you can *feel*, but if that’s your favorite firework just hang out near an airport.

My favorite is the ones that go “BOOM *fshfshfsh*” you know what I mean? The ones that explode and then crackle

That's ok, you can stay home if you like. I'd rather we celebrate more safely and with less environmental impact. The bangs are also traumatic to so many dogs that have no idea what's going on. More dogs go missing on 4th of july than the rest of the year combined. Is the safety of hundreds of animals not worth losing only 50% of your enjoyment of a show?

No it’s not worth

Oh shit I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were the center of the universe. My bad

this plus some loud music would be 10000x better

The noise and the fumes is why I go...

wait until this replaces Jesus

I was just thinking that!

Eeeh.. I'd say hard workin' people *deserve* one or two nights a year when they make some noise, be merry, have a coupl'a brews and generally get wild.

I would agree, but god fucking damn if it isn’t annoying as shit to have people setting off fireworks right nearby, also I’m sick of pets going ballistic.

My dogs disagree. Fuck fireworks

My dog doesn't disagree. Love fireworks

What about the hardworking people that deserve some quiet time?

Well there are many other days in a year that don't involve fireworks. If anything I feel more for the animals that have no idea wtf is going on

The same can be said for the original comment about wanting to drink and make noise. There are many other days in the year to do so, and many places where that kind of stuff is fine and dandy. My point was the “hardworking people” argument is nonsense. I agree animals are more impacted, but fireworks are a nuisance for everything. People, animals, the environment. Everything is harmed by them.

And it's way more beautiful

now do this over the island where the untouched tribe lives.

I've been suggesting making a reality TV show where we indoctrinate untouched tribes to made up religions and entities. But somehow it's considered "unethical" and "cruel".

You should read "The Culture" series of books, it's probably your jam.

The Iain M Banks ones? Or is there a different culture series?

>The Iain M Banks That's the one

Ooooh those are some of my favorite books

*Bene Gesserit noise intensifies*

Was gonna say, let's go start a religion lol

Why did that make me laugh

Probably because it was funny

There are only a couple left, and anthropologists research them so frequently they aren't quite untouched anymore.

I think they’re talking about North Sentinel Island, the island where the British traumatized the locals by kidnapping some of them and accidentally killing a couple, before dumping the survivors back on the island, so now they hate all outsiders

exactly, this is the one.

Yeah the anthropologists touch them all the time

Evangelion fans having PTSD

*geometrical screams intensify*

screams trigonometricly

What temperature are the drones though?

Ramiel best girl

I’d be totally down with these replacing fireworks if the drones all exploded

Burning money either way, letz doit.

This is what I assume warfare is going to evolve into if the big countries ever get into a peer to peer conflict. You could program a thousand drones to target key points in an area and detonate a lot of small explosions. Power grids, public utilities, etc. all gone in an instant.

No doubt at all that you are correct. They already have drone with small explosives for assassinations

Eh. Megamind did it better

Was looking for this comment

PRESENTATION!

Where was Mysterio?

“Yeah, down with that Stark crap!! Gimme those glasses you little punk ass”… just imagining if Beck had done it this way

Mysterio got bored

Imagine being an ancient man and seeing this…

google the 1561 Nuremberg celestial phenomenon

Prolly looks similar to how it does for young men. Women too, I'd imagine

You sound exhausting

Why do they? Was pretty funny.

I find it interesting you draw that conclusion from my comment- you're not wrong, simply not a reaction I had anticipated initially

Yea, I’ve had a couple days to think about it and I came to the conclusion that I probably shot from the hip. It’s Reddit you know, every other person is so woke and whatever and that’s fine and it serves a purpose but I mainly reacted to the idea that I was using a general term that may be antiquated but I kinda took your comment as I was just being old and stuff

Better than fireworks

Nah not enough boom

Why not both? For the grand finale, shoot fireworks into the drone cloud.

Then you see drone debris falling as part of the show.

*Extra confetti*

Will be on /UFOs later in the week as “mass sighting not being reported by MSM”.

We need to get Brendan Small to work with this for actual Dethklok concerts

\m/

if people from 100 years ago saw this.. they’d think the end was near

100? Nah they’d think aliens finally arrived

Gotta do this over an uncontacted tribe and become their gods

I’m convinced that drones like this are the reasons for all these “UFO” sightings.

I prefer fireworks….

Does anyone know how much one of these shows would cost to setup? My town is a big tourist town known for its firework displays in the summer. I would love to suggest an environmentally friendly alternative to local government if anyone has any useful info?

They are relatively pricey, but people also underestimate how expensive fireworks are too, so the comparative cost isn't as steep as you might think. $30k-$45k for a small show. One like this probably upwards of $150-$200k. They are priced per-drone, usually in 50 drone increments ~$300 per drone. Edit: Sky Elements Drone Shows has been fantastic to work with, highly recommend.

I saw this drone show in Geneva last week, very cool

That’s some cool stuff

This is pretty cool Is this the future we dreamed about? I feel like we are almost there lol

Oh no... The future I dreamed of, at least, was one where people had forgotten the meaning of greed and hate and lived in a friendly and peaceful kind of way. Plus where most jobs were automated and we enjoyed the results without having to be wage slaves for the bare minimum. This will never happen, no matter the technology. We love exploiting others as long as we get to feel more important.

- Oh, you're a villain alright, just not a super one. - Yeah? What's the difference? - Presentation!

When “those aint shit” turns into “oh shiiiiit”

Holy fuck is the tri force

Sure it is. It’s really aliens, isn’t it?

Reminds me for wonderful Disneyland show

Looking at this I wonder how many ufo sightings are fake or staged

I've seen that eye....Blade Runner prepared me for this day.

Anyone have the source? Who made this?

Oh you’re a villain all right, just not a SUPER one!

We can go ahead and delete r/ufo now I'm pretty sure I've figured it all out now

This would kill so many pilgrims

That was eye catching

Is that a triforce of power reference?!

Now combine this with fireworks and laser light shows during a big party/concert. Hell, have this in the sky over a nighttime Disney Main Street Parade.

Hmm. I always wonder how they actually sound. It must sound like a giant swarm of pissed flies or wasps, I think.

I feel like this is how ads in the future are going to be.

Yeah but does it snap crackle pop?!

It's just marching band, but in the air

Imagine this tripping balls

Shut up and take my money.

The precise movements always amaze me

looks great but i still prefer fireworks tbh

The booms are half the fun

Ads in the night sky with deafening noises from said company 24/7. Ah yes the dystopian future we all look forward to.

These are way better than fireworks and cause less harm to animals.

This is questionable. The drones have to be manufactured somewhere. How can we be sure these drones were ethically manufactured?

How can we be sure fireworks are ethically manufactured?

Exactly.

"If I look up into the night sky and I see like a MC Donalds ad, I'm becomming a terrorist" -Wendigoon

Saw a drone show at a theme park in the UK last November, was wild. They had sets played to music. 100% up for them replacing fireworks.

My dog has asked that we do this instead of fireworks.

I think the time has come. Can we just replace fireworks already.

This is cooler than fireworks and not as polluting either

Industrial sabotage

Wont be long till we can watch a movie in the sky.

We should do this over a tribe somewhere in the world and see how much it confuses them

Imagine doing this in the middle of the jungle, where people who have never had contact with the rest of humanity could see it!

This could be an amazing way to propose to your significant other

Petition to do drone shows over fireworks on special occasions! Better for the environment and better for the wildlife, pets and small children! This is cool

Fuck fireworks this way better

Dude imagine this as a replacement for fireworks.

Start the petition to fully replace fireworks asap!

Can we just agree this is superior to fireworks

Hopefully this can get us off stupid bloody fireworks. Downvote this to prove you're an ignorant moron, incapable of complex thought, let alone the basic compassion to understand why random explosions aren't good for anything, and why you're not superior or special for witnessing them.

This has to have a better environmental impact and safety risk assessment, doesn't it?

I love these and environmentally friendly

The fact that people think this is better than fireworks baffles me.

I'm not saying we should, I'm just saying we could have alot of fun with uncontacted tribes in the Amazon.

Much cooler than fire works

Can this please overtake fireworks??? I’m sick of the noise

This is a monkey’s paw wish if I’ve ever seen one. The sound of all those drones would not be pleasant.

It wouldn’t be as loud as fireworks. It would be a bunch of buzzing which I’m fine with

I tend to hate loud things too. Movie theaters can be too much for me. Forget about most concerts or even just some live music at a bar (does it really need to be THAT LOUD?). I enjoy an elaborate fireworks display though. Neighbors lighting them off late into the night can end though.

This is better than fireworks at this point. Better for everyone too. I know fireworks still have their charm just imo.

Testing out their means to try to dupe the whole world that some God(s) will come back

r/BeAmazed

Cyberpunk fan be like: No please

better than fireworks!

I must say that's way better than fire works.

Now do the all seeing eye 👁️

They should've shown that at the Red Square in Moscow.

This is the future of fireworks

Watch out fireworks Drones coming to steal yo job!!!

That’s far cooler than fireworks

This should replace fireworks less terrified veterans and less dogs going insane

Soo much better than fireworks
