A green laser moving around on the ground drew the attention of an airport control tower and Delta police this week.
DPD reported that on Dec. 20 just after 6 p.m. in the Hornby Drive area, the operator of an airport control tower reported that pilots had observed a green laser moving around the ground, but that no lasers were pointed at any planes.
“Police patrolled the area and located a residence with Christmas decorations resembling what the pilots had seen,” said DPD. “Police spoke with owner of the residence, who adjusted the lights. Police also observed an intense green laser light on the roof scanning the farm land. Police observed the laser, which never pointed towards the sky and only along the farm land. Police spoke with the owner of the farm who advised that the laser helps keep the birds off the property preserving his crops. Police updated the operator who was satisfied the laser would not interfere with the pilots.”
