Narrative:
On departure; the flying crew noted direct illumination from two locations. First was in front; I do not know how far away. I personally saw the second which was off our left approximately 3 miles away. We were climbing through 5;000 feet approximately 5.5 mile off departure end. I estimate the location at pdh/160/6. The flying crew also mentioned three or four other sources; including northwest of us once we got turned north. We were flying the donti 1C SID.
