    need very bright lights!

    That is a drawback, there is a caution not to use at less that 50 feet AGL because of the "burst into flames" thing.

    A Goat in Grayling

    I've been to that spot. To the north of where the goat is there is an observation post. With a good set of optics you can see multiple MV's both wheeled and tracked wasting away in the impact zone.
