If you saw a bright green laser pointing into the sky, you would be forgiven for thinking the Avengers were about to descend upon your city

After spotting a green laser beaming into the sky, a lot of people were left scratching their heads - but some think they’ve worked out exactly what has been happening.

Posting on Reddit, user Apenerd shared a picture of the great beam into the night sky on July 23. He didn’t explain at what time or what location he took the picture, however.

He captioned the post: “Every night this light/laser comes from out of nowhere and appears to be thousands of miles long.” The post so far has over 34,000 upvotes and has really got people talking.

He even claimed that he drove closer to the beams source and concluded it was none other than Leonardo DiCaprio to blame.
