NEW YORK -- Thousands of pigeons illuminated the sky over New York City Thursday night as part of a show called "Fly by Night," WPIX reports.
The birds were released at sunset from coops aboard a former aircraft carrier docked at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
The pigeon performance is the brainchild of artist Duke Riley. He compares it to a shooting star crossing the New York skyline.
The LED lights are attached to a bird's leg and remote-controlled.
