When I was young there was a Nike Zeus AA site in the Highlands, to our north.

In the 1960’s, I lived on Otis AFB, MA. My father was a member of the refueling team, that frequented the Bomarc missile site on the base. The Bomarc missile was a solid-fuel booster-equipped ramjet-propelled delta-winged aerial vehicle, not unlike an unmanned plane, nuclear warheaded design, meant to air-burst, in the middle of a flight of attacking bombers, some 200 miles off the coastline of the Cape. You can see that there are all sorts of nasties, just waiting to pop up. Solid rocket fuel, hydrazine for the ramjets, nuclear warheads, rubber protective suits, and the like.
