A low-flying plane has been spotted over Galveston County, prompting concerns about its purpose. The plane is actually part of the Galveston County Mosquito Control's efforts to manage mosquito populations. The plane, which is modified and has two engines, flies over predetermined routes shortly after sunrise.

These flights are scheduled in advance, on specific days. Despite its low altitude, the plane's flights are neither illegal nor reckless. Further information about the plane's operations and the mosquito control program can be found through the Galveston County Daily News.

Details about the program's goals and methods are available from this source.
