In cooperation with federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, FAA needs everyone's help in reporting laser incidents. If you are the victim of a laser incident or you witness a laser incident, please report it to FAA. Here's how:
Per FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 70-2, Reporting of laser illumination of aircraft, all pilots and crewmembers are requested to immediately report incidents of unauthorized laser illumination by radio to the appropriate ATC controlling facility.
Upon arrival at destination, all pilots and crewmembers affected by an unauthorized laser illumination are requested to complete the FAA Laser Beam Exposure Questionnaire in order to provide critical information in support of law enforcement efforts to identify and apprehend the responsible parties.

Submit laser incident information to the Domestic Events Network (DEN). For guidance, see AC 70-2, Reporting of Laser Illumination of Aircraft.
If you're a member of the public who witnessed an individual aiming a laser at an aircraft, send an e-mail to laserreports@faa.gov and include the following information:
After the FAA has received your e-mail, FAA staff or the appropriate law enforcement agency may decide to contact you if additional information or clarification is needed.
