LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating reports of lasers being pointed at planes while leaving Louisville.
Six United Parcel Service (UPS) flights reported red and green lasers being pointed at them over a 20-minute period around 2 a.m. Thursday.
Each pilot reported the lasers as the planes were over a local electric power plant.
The Federal Aviation Administration says lasers directed at an aircraft can temporarily blind pilots and cause aborted landings.
There have been 54 laser-related events at the Louisville International Airport and more than 7,000 nationally.
