A Shuttle America pilot had to swerve out of the way of a drone Friday while approaching New York’s LaGuardia Airport.

The Joint Terrorism Task Force is now investigating the incident, which happened over over Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, Fox News reported.

The near-miss took place just hours after five pilots reported green lasers being pointed at their cockpit as they neared the city, Fox reported.
