Is this some sort of coordinated attack of sorts with these lasers? | |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 47754043 Finland 11/13/2015 05:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My guess is that it's a warning. Quoting: aHEMagain^2 Someone may be sending the message, "See all those planes hit with laser pointers all at the same time? Those could have be shoulder fired rockets." aHEMagain Could be a warning, but it's also an attack. Trying to blind pilots with laser is an effective technique to disrupt plane traffic. Low-power lasers pose no real danger. They are a warning and may result in temporary dazzling of the pilot. If this happens during the final stages of the landing, it could cause trouble. High powered lasers are a real threat and civilians have legal access to such lasers. With a laser like this, you don't have to hit the pilot(s) in the eye to cause blindness. With sufficient power you only have to hit the windscreen and even the reflections in the cockpit can cause blindness. No wonder there are rumors that pilots have been told to wear an eyepatch over one of their eyes upon take-off and landing approach. |

THIS SEEMS ABOUT AS LIKELY AS DRONES BEING SPOTTED REGULARLY FROM AIRPLANES - and these spottings seem to have suddenly diminished. I'm sure the laser spottings will diminish too. Of course if you own a green Wicked Laser and they want to make an example of YOU don't be surprised if SWAT busts your door down some night. All media theater. HundredthMonkey |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 4338932 Philippines 11/13/2015 06:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | retards do not coordinate It is more like how several people get sick around the same time - the bug is not coordinating anything - that is just how these things spread. One retard shines a laser at a plane and retards all over the country see that and copy it. So if there is any coordination going on it is not at the retard level. It is the MSM reporting it that is coordinating it. |

Can't post it, but watch the Egytian protests from a few year ago in that main square, thousands of laser pointers all fixed on the helicopters above and guess what, no crash. (It looked pretty cool too) |

You REALLY THINK some person on the ground with a cheap socalled laser lite can possibly shine it into a cockpit of a jet that's way way above him (on ground)?! Beyond fanciful - completely manufactured and controlled chaos; just like all the socalled sniper shootings AND ETC; NO ONE BUT THE POWERS THAT BE (whoever/whatever they is) can do these things; WVERYTHING IS WATCHED AND RECORDED even in Walmart; there are towers everywhere, cameras everywhere, surveillance drones everywhere - THAT is how the shadow govt can both do these dastardly things (to terrorize a docile populace) and stop ANY citizen from fighting back....

Could these have been issues related to these laser attacks? |
