UFOs Attracted to Straight-Up Lasers/Lights?

I'm curious if "lasers/lights" can attract UFOs, or ET-Craft (either manned or unmanned). They are seen in a lot of places during fireworks displays. Mostly staying long enough on the edge of the display to decide that weaponry is not involved - it's just for entertainment - and then departing.

I've also read that New York City has a lot of odd UFO reports, because it is the brightest spot in the continental U.S. at night. And that too seems to attract "exploring" UFOs.

But a new phenomenon are straight-up lights or lasers every night, like the Luxor Hotel, Las Vegas. Tourists have been filming orbs within the Luxor's pyramid's light for a few years now. While the controversy rages whether the orbs are exchanging some kind of information within the beam (both Bigelow and Area 51 are N/NW of Las Vegas), or it is really just bats/birds feeding on insects attracted to the light.

(2012) FLEET OF UFOS RECORDED OVER LAS VEGAS

Although Las Vegas is not the best test area for lights-that-attract-UFOs, due to Area 51 and S-4. But the recent Los Angeles marathon lit up the route on Friday evening, with straight-up lights.

L.A. FORMS NEW CONSTELLATION ON OVERHEAD CLOUDS, AS SKY-LIGHTS HIGHLIGHT MARATHON ROUTE

So I wondered if there had been any UFOs seen over/near Los Angeles during this lighting event. The following reports were filed with MUFON that night, from both Ventura County north of L.A., and Orange County south of L.A.

HUGE CRAFT HIDDEN IN PLASMA, DESCENDS TO HOVER AND THEN GO TRANSPARENT OVER OXNARD
This was from Oxnard, near Point Mugu in Ventura County. Our military's TR-3B has these capabilities too. But the TR-3B is a triangle, now seen cloaked in plasma, and the only shape mentioned for the craft in this report is a sphere.

FROM SANTA ANA, SEE HUGE WHITE/YELLOW CRAFT HOVER AND DESCEND
This is in Orange County, south of Los Angeles County. Huge Naval Base to the South in San Diego.

Hard to tell from these descriptions, if these UFOs were attracted by the LA marathon "lights", or were just incoming anyway to underground bases on the S. California Pacific Coast.

Any other witnesses to see UFOs during this lighting-the-marathon-route event?

They can attract law enforcement, especially if you're in a flight lane or in an urban environment with lots of helos.

I have a friend that attracted a TLA because he habitually calibrated a high power CO2 laser straight up. He miraculously aimed it so that it blinded a defense satellite more than once.

Ha ha I was going this direction as well. A few people I know
got a lot of attention this way. But a military satelite? Yikes bro!

To do so just once would seem a marvelous coincidence, but more than once? My hat goes off to your friend.

A good way to get BUSTED around here.

Or it could be UFO's just know many people will be watching the skies during fireworks, or other events that attract media/public attention, and want to get noticed.........how many people usually watch the sky? Maybe many on here, but most these days have their noses buried in devices looking at facebook updates......

You know that's a video of a drone, right?

a reply to: Phage

Drones can ascend at a rate of about 50ft/second? I'd like to see the specs on those.......

How did you determine the rate of climb? But yes, drones can ascend very quickly.

I guess you missed the video taken by that very drone?

No it's not! It's aliens! YouTube says so!

Well, for some reason, Firefox suddenly stopped doing the quote function properly. But:

It was a big IR laser. About 10kW, he had it decollimated so it was firing up in a cone. Nonetheless, it was an unfortunate coincidence that he hit an imaging sat twice in a week, and thus attracted undue attention. He also had it on a lot during tha time, there was a lot of opportunity for enlightenment, as it were.

Now, why did FF stop working? It worked this morning...

10kW? I take it that wasn't a standard, off-the-shelf consumer laser...

Remarkable coincidence actually. Unless of course, the birds had a reason to be over the installation at the time.

Well, it was off-the-shelf but it was a big industrial honker of a laser, and for the time (late 70s) it was about as big a CO2 laser as you could get and use in the field, sort of.

We were having cooling issues. It was sort of rickety to use this thing, as it didn't like being bumped or shaken, so you could tune it to spec at the shop and then get it into the lake and you'd have to fiddle with it, then if you went to full power if it wasn't really tweaked it would heat up and you'd have to shut down and let it cool off.

So we spent nights at the shop with this thing outside. You were supposed to adjust it at 1kW, but the problem was it would always work at 1kW...it was at full power output where you got issues. So we'd set up, drive around with the thing to shake it up, and then tune it at FULL power to see what was jostling awry.

The problem there was, we didn't have a good target, so he got into the habit of coning the beam a bit and pointing it straight up, and now you know the rest of the story, as Paul Harvey would say.

Apparently if you've got about a 10 degree cone and you leave it on all night (more or less) it enhances the likelihood you'll hit one. He didn't for quite some time, just lucky I suppose.

Ahh.
That makes it less of a coincidence. Tending toward certainty. Depending on the imaging process.

And I think in that time frame, it wasn't so likely that Joe Civilian would have a major laser going off all night, so a flare on your IR scans was something you might find more ominous than today.

I still don't think Joe Civilian has too many 10kW IR lasers going off at night, though I imagine he probably has a few more than he would have back then. Lol

Your tax dollars at work, I always say. That job was one of those life-shaping activities for my teenaged butt in more than one way.
