Default Unauthorized Laser Illumination Event

I was at 1,700 feet. I used the Garmin 496 to mark the spot so it
conveniently took note of the time and altitude as well. Switching it to
the Automotive mode, I was able to narrow it down to a 6 block by two
block area in a specific neighborhood in Connecticut.

There was definitely a flash and I lost my nightvision in the left eye
for a little while which was a weird feeling. It was kind of like
wearing glasses with a bug smudge on the left lense.

That's a pretty big area. I hope you're successful in finding the
perpetrator...
