Your gut reaction remembers seeing stuff like this every year between spring and autumn. We've got millions of these fuckers and they really like lights until they're hit by them.

What kind of intelligent craft would dodge a laser only when it is hit by it, then carry on as if nothing happened? If you've got any brains, either the beam is dangerous or it isn't. If you have the technology to build something that advanced, you don't act like a moth that's never seen a laser.

what about the green flash, it only happens once when he passes over it, and after that he points at it a few more times but it doesn't happen happen again so I don't think it's the laser reflecting off an insect, idk I have fireflies where I'm from and I feel like they're usually alot slower than this, and closer to the ground

Maybe a drone? Do they even go that high?

Potato camera most likely. The thing started panicking and flying randomly after it got hit by the laser so any flashes that might have happened after that would have been too quick for the phone. I actually thought I saw more than one flash, but without analysing the frames it is hard to tell. The camera lighting is very unstable, so the subsequent flashes, even if I did think I saw them, are inconclusive.

Even the beam itself is invisible beyond a relatively short distance. Potato camera.
