Why P-8 Poseidon would fly around the same point hours and hours? There are many reasons, why this kind of missions is done. One is that if the aircraft flies very long around some point, it would get a sharper image about that target and if the target is under the surveillance, what takes hours, would that mean, that the aircraft would meter the movements of the buildings. There is the possibility of earthquakes in Los Angeles, and maybe that P-8 was searching the vertical and horizontal movements of the ground by using its systems in intensive surveillance.
But there are many other possibilities, and one is that the aircraft would observe the volcanic gas, what is released from the Newport-Inglewood fault zone, and the data was collected for getting the prediction of the new earthquakes. That P-8 could search the houses because somebody expected that there was some kind of surveillance equipment hidden in those houses, and maybe their mission was to track those "bugs", what might be installed by the hostile intelligence service.
And if the aircraft would fly a circle in a long time, would it get a better image from the radio transmitters in that area. But there is a possibility, that this P-8 was looking for the drones, what have disturbed air-traffic, and maybe its mission is to scan the guidance systems of those drones, or it might communicate with drone swarms, and that ability will make it useful in the search operations. Those drones can cover very large land area, and they can be used to searching the people or looking for crack-houses.
So they can be useful for both military and civil operations like searching fire, looking for people from the streets or parks, and the image recognition systems, what can compile faces and registration plates would allow this system operate very effectively. And also sensors like normal- and infrared cameras and gas detectors can be used for tracking poisonous chemicals, crack houses and even the DNA of certain people. In this case, those systems can communicate with sophisticated command aircraft, what will forward the information, what this system has been collected to the other units. This kind of systems are very effective for locating certain targets for strike units, and maybe those P-8 planes also operate with this kind of units of military and law enforcement.
