@mattblaze I love the fact that you are interested in the facts and history. :)I never would've guessed what that was. The parts of NORAD that I've come across in Canada are the domed radar towers. This one was part of the Barrington Air Station, operational in 1957, decommissioned in 1990, and this remaining part is now a Canadian Coastal Radar site. We went here to see the lighthouse and as fog lifted, were rather surprised to see it dwarfed by the radar station.

Looking across a field of low vegetation to see a huge building that is a tall rectangle with a dome on top standing to the right of a white lighthouse, which looks insignificant in comparison. It's a bright day, but fog is still enshrouding the top of the domed building.
