Default Aerial survey "mystery plane" over Quincy, MA

Not sure where to put this, so might as well start it here and admins can move it if they want. If nothing else it's an intersting story. Maybe some in our little aviation world know something.

I have some articles and a pic below. I'll put what's known into bullet points to save you time.

-In the last couple weeks residents of Quincy, MA say one or more small aircraft have been loitering and maneuvering over the area, primarily during the overnight hours, and causing a nuisance.
-Residents and the mayor contacted the FAA and were told the FAA was aware of the flying, but could not provide any more info.
- A resident snaged a photo of the plane (below). It's a C182, N906TM, and there is clearly an imaging pod behind the left main.
-The registration was traced to a Virginia based corporation called RKT Productions. Someone traced the company to a DC-based author, activist, and hip-hop artist.
-Conspiracy theories abound.
-Not clear if they're hiring pilots

Interesting if nothing else. Discuss, discuss.
