If it's some neighborhood kids, they could've been watching the flight patterns. It's a commercial liner, after all. Regular schedules, consistent speeds, predictable rates of ascent/descent... It'd be a lot easier than guesstimating an un-scheduled military flight, at least. A few weeks of practice with a scope, beforehand?

"It wasn't kids aiming it at the airplane today, 8500 feet is quite a distance to accurately hit with a light."
