Is that one of the old C band antennas? You know, the ones that got free tv transmissions before signal scrambling became the norm. The used to put all the porn on the falling satellites. Hopefully it was well grounded when installed but probably rusted itself out of usefulness. So lightning rod, yeah. You could always paint it. I've seen quite a few "attractive" ones. Generally like giant mutant sunflowers.
