THIS WEEK'S GENIUSES.... ARRESTED FOR POINTING A LASER AT PLANES

Four people were arrested for pointing lasers at Los Angeles County sheriff's helicopters.

A 15-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy were nabbed, as were two, 25-year-old men.

The lasers are dangerous because when they hit the windshield, they fill the cockpit with light. It can disorient pilots or cause temporary blindness.

Some pilots have gotten long-term visual injuries.

UFO FAN CLAIMS 'THEY KNOW I'M FILMING THEM'

An Ohio man says that he has recorded very clear images of what he thinks is a UFO over Lake Erie.

The man claims they know he's filming them-- and they allow him to keep shooting.   He says that every year they get closer and closer.

His recording shows several colored lights flashing.

(Others have said that every so often, they've seen strange lights blinking on and off.)

Locals say the lake is a hotbed for extraterrestrial activity.

Something called The Cleveland Ufology Project was founded back in 1952 when the members said they confirmed the images were airplanes.
