Narrative:

During a ferry flight to swf our aircraft was illuminated by a green laser. We were cruising at 10;000 MSL; the aircraft was unpressurized due to a maintenance issue; approaching bosox intersection. PIC noticed a green light coming from the ground; left and slightly forward of the aircraft. As he commented about the light; the whole cockpit lit up with a green glow. Upon further observation PIC noted that it looked like the laser was searching for the aircraft; then once the aircraft was 'lit-up'; the laser was deliberately moved toward the cockpit. The incident was reported to ATC and an advisory was issued to aircraft in the vicinity.
