The FBI is operating a small air force with scores of low-flying planes across the country carrying video and, at times, cellphone surveillance technology -- all hidden behind fictitious companies that are fronts for the government, The Associated Press has learned.
The planes' surveillance equipment is generally used without a judge's approval, and the FBI said the flights are used for specific, ongoing investigations. In a recent 30-day period, the agency flew above more than 30 cities in 11 states across the country, an AP review found.

Interesting. Anyone know specifically what parts/components those are?
The FBI would not say whether Lindley is a U.S. government employee. The AP unsuccessfully tried to reach Lindley at phone numbers registered to people of the same name in the Washington area since Monday.
Just flew over again.
The parts sticking out from the bottom of the fuselage, in the aforementioned photo? They're various antennae, to be sure, and in a number that altogether appear quite excessive for any known suite of avionics package for a small civilian aircraft.
I've seen the like of those antennae before, but I was wearing a military uniform at the time (thus making it almost 30 years ago.) The question to be asking is, "What are those various antennae servicing, in that aircraft?"

Also notice the hi def dome camera hanging off the bottom.
That one’s registered to NG Research. Address is a p.o. box in Virginia.
They can pick a target and the hi def dome cam locks right on it as the aircraft orbits. No left right up down stuff anymore and the resolution day or night is quite good.
Maybe it's just a data sweep or maybe you're the target this time.
Electronic wireless receive for audio/data, low light ground imaging w/hi res stuff and other items as it applies to the mission. Probably includes infrared etc. It provides data that can determine how long your car’s been parked in the driveway/garage and many uses. Lots of really fun stuff.
