AA filter removal possible?

Is it possible to remove the anti-alias filter from a DSLR sensor, as
it's sometimes possible to remove the IR cut filter?

This is for a special technical application, not general purpose
photography; I'm aware of the purpose of the AA filter.

Thanks.

Not sure which you mean. There are several images. Do you mean "Area 1",
the weird gray blob in the no-AA image that shows as a wider gray area
in the AA image? I'm not sure what to think of that, but the stuff I
want to shoot won't have anything like that.

Didn't Kodak's last high resolution DSLRs omit the AA filters?
Not that you'd be too interested in their low sensitivity sensors.

I'd be more concerned about the moire-like effect on the side of the air
conditioner in area 3...

Scammers. Anytime people start misrepresenting the effect of AA
filters you know that they're more interested in screwing people out
of $450 than they are in providing a needed service.

What is the misrepresentation?
