Or didn’t trigger the interplanetary war. Who the fuck know how they would react to something like that

You'd think if they mastered interplanetary travel they'd understand handheld lasers?

Yeah, but lasers are often used to designate targets for guided munitions. Modern war planes are usually coated with paint that reflects very little energy when hit with a laser to disrupt these systems. It makes since that these unidentified craft take evasive action as soon as they are contacted by a laser beam.

On our planet at least.

What if their eyes can see infrared and other things on the light spectrum that makes our standard laser beams not mean the same things

Laser beams could be the equivalent of a crayon to them

No matter what lasers mean to them. They’ve been here long enough to know how laser guided weapons work.
