Local: Authorities Looking for Suspect Pointing Laser at Approaching Aircraft in San Jose
Connie Skipitares writes in The Mercury News:
Someone is shining lasers at jetliners as they approach Mineta San Jose International Airport, and local and federal authorities want to know who it is.More here.
"I would say it's somebody who's just playing around, but this is still serious," said Santa Clara County Sheriff's spokesman Deputy Serg Palanov.
The sheriff's department is joining the Federal Aviation Administration in investigating incidents involving someone in the area of Highways 85 and 87 shining a green laser at airliner cockpits as planes approach landing. Officials do not view the incidents as acts of terrorism, Palanov said.
The latest incident was Monday night about 7 p.m. Over a span of one to two hours, four or five airliners reported a light shining into their cockpits, Palanov said. Pilots were able to land planes without a problem.
