Laser from plane scanning queens ny last night

i saw the same thing in staten island around 1am. it was a jet, not a plane. there was a green laser scanner on the bottom of the plane and it went back and forth twice. my friend and i were really freaked out, no idea what it was.

Good find, this is surely the explanation

it was FEMA

Someone posted a video on youtube of the plane scanning the NYC area.

Hi

I live in the North Flushing area by Bowne Park and have just seen low flying aircraft "scanning" our area multiple times since about 4:30am-ish with a green light from the bottom and a beam of light (emitted in a triangular fashion). I thought it was a helicopter initially but after going outside I noticed that it was a wide winged aircraft that was producing this green light/beam. It looked to be headed to LaGuardia Airport and then came back - repeatedly. Very odd.

I was able to get a video of it from my camera. How do I upload it?

I saw the SAME THING last night at about 1:30 AM ! Ive been on google searching all morning and havent found anything any answers ?!

I saw the same thing last night:

Aircraft with green laser, appearing to be scanning the ground, flying over head back and forth multiple times over the little neck / great neck area of north east queens.

It looked like it could be flying in the direction of LGA or foty totten, but it came back and forth multiple times between 4:30 and 5 am

Someone caught a video of the same aircraft three days ago:

The laser is not very visible in this video, however I can confirm that this video captures the same type of aircraft as I (and others on the internet) saw last night over nyc

No bullshit I saw this too, I was coning back from getting my laundry and I stopped to pull the bag out of mu cart (astoria 30th ave) and a green light was on me. It was heading north towards ditmars, looked like god was shining a laser pointer down back and forth really quick. I looked up and saw it was coming from what looked like a plane (commercial) but without the red and white lights on the wings. Went for a few blocks north and then the light stopped and went back up almost in the fashion an old tv turned off. I thought I was just high, drippiest shit I ever seen.

my friend and I saw the same thing in the Hunts point section of the Bronx last night... it looked like a regular passenger jet with a green light underneath that scanned across the sky

I saw it as well in long island on Wednesday morning about 3 in the morning

I saw the exact same thing tonight! Aircraft with a wide green laser scanning the whole area! Wtf!

It was a twin engine prop plane , flying very low and scanning the whole area row by row for several hours. I'm in central NJ.

i saw something like this early this morning in matawan nj. never seen anything like it. small plane made one pass and then came back around. second time, all of the sudden, what appeared to lasers or beams of light apeared from under the plane and shine all the way to the ground. the lights faned out and tilted back and forth and then shut off. happened again a few seconds later and that was it.

Hey OP,

Can you tell us where in Queens your son saw it? Do you know what direction it was scanning (north/south or east/west)? I saw this same thing in Queens on Wednesday night and I'm trying to get a good picture of where it's been and where it might be going.

Other people who have seen this: please post where you were, what time it was, what directions the plane was flying and how many times it flew over you and a brief description of what you saw. Let's try to get as much granular info as we can about the planes on this thread.

Here's my experience:

I was on the border of Queens and Nassau County on Northern Blvd and Glenwood St. It flew east first, into Long Island. Then it flew back west towards the city. It flew back and forth five times in total between 4:30 am and 5 am on 11/22 (Wednesday night / Thursday morning)

It had a green laser being emitted from the belly of the plane. The plane flew low to the ground and -- as many people here have described -- it looked like a giant bar code scanner, with the laser extending in a triangular fashion from the plane to the ground.

This thing is real and there is an increasing number of reports about it. If you have seen it, post as much info as you can!

This topic reminded me of this video (Sail, by awholenation), starting at 1:53:

Also, check out 1:04 for some symbolism.

peace

This thing has been bothering me all night. I live in ft.lauderdale, fl and I saw the same thing about midnight last night (4/11/13). Ive been looking for an explanation.

Well it is 12:40 in the morning here in Honolulu and about 10 min ago, a plane with a green light on the underside flu over me and yes scanned me and the ground with a green laser like a barcode scanner thing and this beam was wide.

I am in ewa beach I just seen the same thing... What is going on...

yep just saw it over Honolulu, right on king st wtf

are you sure that someone wasnt shining the laser AT the plane?

Looks like its LIDAR. Its a way to produce high resolution maps. There are any number of applications

This plane is pretty small, could even be a drone.It is light colored and had two wing lights. It was circling the city.

Yes, I'm sure. I managed to get a video of it with my cell phone and upload it to Youtube. As it flies almost overhead you can see the glow of the green laser and the flash as it shines into the camera.[youtube [link to www.youtube.com (secure)]

I was parked on Alamoana Blvd in Honolulu around 230 am this morning and it flew right over us. Triangular shaped green laser scanned us. Looked really cool.

Seen the same thing yesterday on Maui, Hawaii so looked into it just now. This may explain it a bit.

Just curious--how many Queens were identified?

Plane with green laser just flew over mokuleia at 1600 hst. Twin engine beech craft. Been seeing it fly all over the north shore today.

i've seen that before but not last night.

last night i saw something else....

somewhere between 12 - 18 huge low flying planes (had to have been military) all flying in straight line following each other. completely out of the ordinary for where i live.
far away from an airport and military base. never seen anything like it ever. gave me chills.
at first glance i thought it was mass UFO sighting as it was just a string of lights in the sky like you see in some videos.

I saw it

Saw a plane emitting what appeared to be a green scanner passing by originally about a block away from the beach. Continued back and forth until about 1 hr later it was out scanning the ocean. saw this page after a quick google searh trying to figure out what it was. I figured some kind of mapping or weather plane, any comprehensive answer on what kind of tech exactly the plan was using or what it may have been trying to map? Saw it at San Diego 10/3/14.
