This has happened to a southwest pilot over las vegas. It was a laser from a casino light show. Maybe the same case here.

if it illuminated the cockpit, that's a powerful laser and should have burned a hole on anything along its path...huh!:Q:sun:

Hell, it probably was a National Guard fighter on routine patrol playing "war games" with the airliner, targeting him with his laser rangefinder, simulating a shot, then moving on. That's so common it's not funny. Unfortunately, those targeting rangefinders are fairly powerful and I suppose could burn one's eyes if it just happened to illuminate the cockpit or passenger cabin just right.

Sucks though........

Too bad US military aircraft use RADAR for rangefinding, not lasers. :roll:

His contention was this had happened BEFORE to another pilot flying into Vegas

Certain aircraft for the air to GROUND mode, yes. And such aircraft wouldn't be targeting an airliner for "war games".
