Essex County hosted a Hanukkah drone light show in Livingston on Wednesday to celebrate the first night of the Jewish holiday, which in a rare occurrence, coincided with Christmas Day this year.
Hundreds of people braved the freezing temperatures to watch 150 drones light up the sky.
They formed a Torah scroll, a star, a dreidel menorah and the words Happy Hanukkah, which of course drew in a lot of oohs and ahs.
Before the show, a fire juggler entertained the crowd while officials lit the menorah and led the audience in Hanukkah songs.
People celebrating Christmas said it offered an opportunity to blend traditions and bring some unity at a time when it's badly needed.
For these drones, though, no FBI investigation is needed.
