I should've read it more closely. I didn't realize they SAW it. I'd be interested to know what color it was. That does make it sound a bit less nefarious. Starting to sound more like some spoiled brat with a souped up green laser pointer. 532nm is right near the max sensitivity for cones and rods and will do some damage.
