Coulda been the Navy testing their sonar. Oh wait thats whales.

Reminds me of a story from a radar class. The teacher told about when birds would land on an antenna some of the operators would turn on the radar frying the birds. They would fall down to the deck where other crew men would kick them overboard. Then the officers would come out and yell at everyone involved.

Officers don’t have to clean the bird droppings off the antenna, the boat, etc.
