VIDALIA, Ga. — The FBI is searching for someone who pointed a laser at a military aircraft in March.

Investigators are offering a $2,500 reward for information leading to the arrest of anyone responsible.

The FBI says that around 9:50 a.m. on March 9, a U.S. Air Force aircraft was deliberately struck by a high-powered laser for about one minute. The laser caused temporary eye damage to a member of the flight crew on the aircraft, which was approaching the Savannah Air National Guard Base.

Investigators believe the laser strike originated from an area northeast of Vidalia.
