As three Air Force planes were returning from a night training flight to Vance Air Force Base in Oklahoma, they were targeted by a ground-based laser beam which originated with either a laser pointer or a laser rifle scope. Although lasers can potentially do serious eye damage, all six pilots escaped injury. Vance officials believe that the incident was accidental and not malicious.In other news, over a hundred Swedes were kicked out of Denmark for being drunk and rowdy. They had taken the ferry from Helsingborg in Sweden to Helsingør in Denmark, and then got a bit drunk and picked fights before they were put back on the ferry by Danish police. The boisterous Swedish youths continued fighting on the ferry during the return trip.
