BOSTON (AP) - Federal officials say they are investigating after pilots reported that a laser was pointed at their airplanes in the Boston area.

The Federal Aviation Administration says pilots on two flights reported seeing the lasers Friday evening about 30 miles north of Boston’s Logan airport.

One of the planes was headed from Washington D.C. to Portland, Maine. The other plane was going from Portland to Philadelphia. Both planes were operated by Air Wisconsin.
