Captured this guy doing some sort of low-flying surveying. The way they were flying around erratically and extremely low got me curious. Looked up the aircraft: the leasing company photos didn’t show this device.

    Could be anything, but as a geophysicist, I assume it is a ground penetrating radar or similar. I don’t see a lens that would suggest it is a spectrometer. And it’s missing the characteristic shape of a lidar. Could theoretically be a scintillatometer (gamma ray spectrometer) –

    In most cases the data will be much better lower to the ground.
