The weird orb(s) on the hill

This is on top of the hill behind my in-laws’ house. Rick says he thinks it used to be part of a radar installation. We drove up to the top of the hill, but the road ends in a giant fence before you get to the orbs.

I believe it's the site of the former LA-55 Nike Radar and Missile Site. These surface-to-air missiles protected Los Angeles from attack.

Here's an overview of the Nike program.
