Lasers Pointed at Six Aircraft Across Three States: FAA

Laser beams targeted six aircraft flying in Arizona, California and Texas on Thursday night, officials said, just one day after more than 20 planes were similarly struck across the country.

A Southwest Airlines flight and a corporate jet belonging to a private business both reported laser strikes about four miles from Dallas Love Field Airport around 7 p.m. local time (8 p.m. ET), according to Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Lynn Lunsford.

Another plane, a Cessna C-172, was illuminated by a green laser on its left side about two hours later, Lunsford added.
