[edit] Summary
View from a flight simulator, showing the visual effect of a 5 milliwatt green laser pointer seen 1,200 feet away. Laser brightness is 5.0 microwatts per sq.cm. This can cause "Veiling glare" and "disruption" effects. Photos taken as part of a U.S. Government research study on lasers' visual effects on pilots. Animation created by Patrick Murphy with permission given to make this animation public domain. Photo 3 of a series of 4 showing no effect, distraction, glare and flash blindness.
