- The CIA reportedly utilized a top-secret "Ghost Murmur" technology to locate and rescue a U.S. airman shot down over the mountains of Iran.
- The airman, a weapons system officer from an F-15E Strike Eagle, evaded capture for 36 hours after his jet was brought down southwest of Isfahan.
- "Ghost Murmur" employs long-range quantum magnetometry to trace electromagnetic signals from a human heartbeat, pairing the data with AI to pinpoint its source.
- Developed by Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works, the technology was described as being able to detect a heartbeat from a thousand square miles in ideal, remote conditions.
- Donald Trump praised CIA Director John Ratcliffe for the "phenomenal job" in the rescue, highlighting the use of "exquisite technologies" by the agency.
