WASHINGTON (AP) The story of the pilot who reported eye injury due to a laser last September may have seemed somewhat strange and anomalous at the time. However, recent events give cause to examine this more seriously. It seems that more strange reports have been made regarding the use of lasers in Cleveland and in Colorado Springs.

The FBI is currently investigating the source of a laser that was beamed into the cockpit of an airliner approximately 15 miles from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. Additionally, there are investigations proceeding for reports made by two pilots who witnessed green lasers entering their cockpits in Colorado Springs, CO.

Thankfully, the planes were all landed safely. There is no evidence of a clear plot, motive, or who may be behind this. There has been memo sent to law enforcement agencies recently by the FBI, in which Homeland Security warns that there is evidence that terrorists have experimented with lasers as possible weapons.

Does anyone remember watching Johnny Quest cartoons? I remember and episode in which they went out to investigate the destruction of several ships and it turned out to have been caused by a high powered laser. The culprits were planning to destroy a US rocket. Just a curious observation.
