>You can't make a laser from space that can do this
Who is claiming this stuff came from space? IF a tard on the ground can blind a pilot flying a plane with a laser…a tard in a plane WITH a laser can start a fire…and yes, the laser would be visible. Believe it or not there is an entire "underground" of people who make homemade laser weapons and they are deadly as shit. It's a hobby but also necessity in areas where gun ownership is forbidden or limited. VERY easy to go poking about and discover this for yourself.
For a while it was easy to buy the parts to build your own…and from videos I've seen…I dearly wanted to make my own for a SHTF scenario…say four or five guys creeping up on your camp in the dark, ONE SWIPE across their positions with a high power laser gun and they won't have a chance to shoot.
I think that this is one area of SHTF weaponry that gets little to no attention. You can do it from a concealed position at a distance, no sound, no need for heavy ammo, just BOOM instant blindness, instant hole burnt in chest, instant death (depending on the power)….there's a whole underground bunch of folks who build their own. Again, I've seen videos from back in the day (before getting parts got more difficult) and trust me, your supposition that a laser could not make that sort of damage…is 100% incorrect. You can start a fire with a magnifying glass and the sun…kek…so…flying around in a helicopter with the door open and zapping houses or areas you want to get burning with a hand held high power laser weapon…easy.
