Brightly lit flying machines descending from the sky as people below scatter in panic is the sort of scene you might expect from a sci-fi film.
However the pedestrians seen running in fear in this video aren’t escaping from invading aliens. Instead, they are running from falling drones.
The bizarre footage, taken from the Chinese city of Zhengzhou, shows the machines, lit up with bright blue lights, plummeting from the sky to the streets below.
Screams and shouts can be heard as one by one the drones begin falling from the sky.
Eventually people begin to run for cover as the sound of drones smashing into the ground can be heard in the background.
Other drones begin to descend slowly, seemingly still under control from their operators.

The strange incident is believed to have taken place during a drone light show near to a shopping centre in Zhengzhou – a city in central China that is around 450miles south-west of Beijing and which lies on the banks of the famous Yellow River.
It is believed around 5,000 people – many of them children – were watching the light show when the incident took place.
It is unclear what caused the drones to fall. However, an organiser reportedly told China News Services – China’s second largest state-run news agency – that ‘operation errors’ might have led to the fall.
No injuries have been reported from the incident, which is believed to have taken place on October 1.
A 20-year-old resident who attended the show reportedly told VICE World News: ‘More and more drones came off.’Some flew very far away, and some hit the trees.’

He said staff members let people seek refuge inside the mall and picked up the drones from the floor in the aftermath.
The incident is not the first time there has been problems with drones in China.
In May last year 17 drones crash during a holiday performance in Chengdu, in the south-west of China.
A police investigation found that drone jammers were used, allegedly by a rival company who were furious that their performance had not been picked.
