Several pilots say a green laser was pointed at their planes while they were flying over Long Island.

The Federal Aviation Administration says it happened to four planes Thursday between 9:30 p.m. and 10 p.m., about four miles northwest of Farmingdale.

The planes were at about 8,000 feet when the pilots say their planes were illuminated by the laser.

Pointing a laser at a plane is a federal crime.

No injuries were reported and the FAA has alerted New York State Police.
