[MRCA] Atlantic Highlands, NJ Radar Site

[MICHAEL ST ANGELO]

Bill,

Are you referring to Highlands Air Force Station:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highlands_Air_Force_Station>

This is now a county park, Hartshorne Woods, and nothing is left of the Air Force installation. There is a WW2 gun battery, Battery Lewis, this is being renovated.

The lights sound like Twin Lights lighthouse which is close to Hartshorne Woods. I don't believe this was a part of the AFS in this time period.
