Original Note:
These lasers do indeed seem to be from the Chinese Daqi-1/AEMS satellite, which has a stated use of atmospheric environmental monitoring. Daqi-1 uses an instrument similar to the NASA ICESat-2 satellite, which was originally thought to have caused the light. https://www.sciencealert.com/ominous-green-lasers-shot-over-hawaii-didnt-come-from-nasa-satellite-after-all/amp https://www.vice.com/en/article/bvm9y5/green-lasers-sky-hawaii-chinese-satellite https://www.newsweek.com/mysterious-green-lasers-hawaii-chinese-satellite-nasa-1780468?amp=1
