no these are sophisticated items..how can a kid shoot a laser beam up on a plane moving at 500mph?

it obviously has some tracking device..most likely military issue type stuff

Shadow- i completely agree..this isnt a hoax

Although its true that the plane is moving quite fast, it doesn't appear so from the ground. So, it "could" be kids.
 
at that height you couldnt see the laser go into the cockpit
 
But, I thought that the light from "true" lasers isn't supposed to diffute or disperse in the atmosphere. Thus, if they had a true laser, they should be able to see it from the cockpit.

Grade 6 science back at ya! :)

this should be a lesson for those in education..
show some T and A and your students will be very attentive
lol
 
Well, I saw on CNN that the laser was "in" the cockpit when the plane was between 10,000 & 15,000 feet (I think)..... It's not one of those pen-type lasers, it's kinda like one you would use in a laser show.... like a canister thing.....

Still, the incidences appear to be spread out all over the place, so who knows who could be doing it??

hence, its a true laser...that a kid could pick up...

I think you are missing my point......it was constantly in the cockpit for 2-3 minutes......no one on the ground, could, by hand....track the inside of a cock-pit at 500-600 mph.....at 15000 feet

Ah..ok...

Track a plane...no problem...but the cockpit? hmm...slightly harder...i see your point...

My understanding was that a "true" laser will burn out your retina with minimal exposure.
 
Seriously though, I'm not sure if I would panic just yet. Wouldn't it just be as easy for someone to pickup an RPG and launch it at those planes rather then use some sort of laser targetting system?
