People be fucking paranoid... And I am far from a trust the government and/or corporations type person.

Aries appears to specialize in "remote data retrieval, airborne geophysical survey, radar and LiDAR mapping," which is what they're probably doing for some kind of civil engineering or environmental management application. You can download maps of soil type with like 10 foot resolution, foliage maps super detailed topographic info including in some cases foliage height, I'm pretty sure we have bedrock depth data - how do you guys think that stuff happened.

Guys, if the government wanted to know what you were up to, they would ask your phone or Alexa.

If it was doing some kind of broad-reaching law enforcement overreach, it would probably be flying over poor/minority areas.

Edit: /u/baron_muchhumpin since you were wondering and I think mine is the most detailed answer, I'll ping you and offer this example of what data they might be collecting: https://www.mass.gov/info-details/massgis-data-soils-ssurgo-certified-nrcs
