    About 50 years ago MIT's Radiation Lab ran the Millstone Radar facility at
    Hanscome Field, just north of Boston. This was the experimental radar that
    bounced signals off the moon. The field was in the flyway of the Canada Geese
    migration. One of the technicians told me that his Thanksgiving fantasy was to
    catch a flight of geese in the million watt beam and cook them before they hit
    the
    ground. His fellow technicians discouraged him, saying that the stuffing
    would not be to their liking.
