>How is she still alive, idk
Because she doesn't know what she's talking about.
You can't make a laser from space that can do this. It's not physically possible. A orbital laser would basically be a orbital telescope in reverse. And orbital telescopes are diffraction limited. The ratio between wavelength and aperture diameter determines the hard limit of how tight the output beam can possibly be. A larger aperture can maintain a tighter beam, but would obviously also mean a less concentrated beam for a given amount of power. So there is a limit to how small the laser spot on the ground can possibly be. And this is before we start talking about atmospheric distortion and dust/smoke in the air. To ignite leaves and trees under a spot a couple meters in diameter the satellite would have to output MEGAWATTS. That laser will not fit on a rocket and cannot be powered by any solar array that could have gone unnoticed all this time.

There, now I hope I've put this to bed once and for all.
