USS Discovery flies over New York City
With the help of Remarkable Media, CBS commissioned the ‘flight’ of the titular ship as an advertising stunt for tonight’s premiere. CNET details the flight as a visual effect of LED lights on a truss flown under a Black Hawk helicopter. Watch the flight below:

CBS will put me in the Agony Booth if I give spoilers but can say Doug Jones' Lt. Saru is an INSTANT CLASSIC sci fi icon.
