| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The secret CIA tool that helped find the airman downed in Iran The CIA used a secret tool dubbed 'Ghost Murmur' to find the American airman shot down over Southern Iran. According to sources familiar with the technology, this futuristic device uses 'long–range quantum magnetometry' to find even the faintest heartbeats. The tool reportedly scans for the subtle electromagnetic fingerprint of the human heart. This data is then filtered through artificial intelligence (AI) software to isolate an individual signature from the background noise. According to a source, who spoke with the New York Post, Ghost Murmur was developed by Lockheed Martin's infamous 'Skunk Works' division. This is the aerospace giant's secretive advanced development division, responsible for creating the U–2 and Blackbird spy planes. One individual who spoke with the New York Post described Ghost Murmur as 'hearing a voice in a stadium, except the stadium is a thousand square miles of desert'. They added: 'In the right conditions, if your heart is beating, we will find you.' The technology was reportedly used to find a wounded weapons systems officer, known publicly as 'Dude 44 Bravo', who had been shot down over Southern Iran. The pilot was hiding in a mountain cave after his F–15 fighter jet was shot down last week, surviving for two days in the harsh terrain while Iranian troops scoured the area. The source said that this barren landscape provided 'an ideal first operational use' of Ghost Murmur. Due to low electromagnetic interference, the desert presented 'about as clean an environment as you could ask for' with almost no other human signatures. While the source says Dude 44 Bravo activated a Boeing–made Combat Survivor Evader Locator beacon, their precise whereabouts remained unknown until he was detected by Ghost Murmur. The source says: 'Normally this signal is so weak that it can only be measured in a hospital setting with sensors pressed nearly against the chest. 'But advances in a field known as quantum magnetometry – specifically sensors built around microscopic defects in synthetic diamonds – have apparently made it possible to detect these signals at dramatically greater distances. 'The capability is not omniscient. It works best in remote, low–clutter environments and requires significant processing time.' |
