The CIA used a futuristic tool called “Ghost Murmur” to locate and rescue the missing fighter pilot.
A fighter pilot went missing last week after Iran shot down an F-15E fighter jet.
The fighter jet went down in a remote part of Iran on Friday. One pilot was rescued, and the other pilot, the ‘gunner,’ went missing.
The missing fighter pilot was rescued early Sunday morning local time.
In an incredible act of valor, the seriously wounded pilot evaded capture by scaling a 7,000-foot mountain ridge in Southern Iran and hiding out in a crevice.
According to The New York Post, the futuristic tool detected the missing fighter pilot’s heartbeat.
“Ghost Murmur pairs long-range quantum magnetometry sensors with AI to find human heartbeats,” The New York Post reported.
On Monday, CIA Director John Ratcliffe referenced the new, futuristic tool during a press briefing at the White House.

The New York Post reported:
The CIA used a futuristic new tool called “Ghost Murmur” to find and rescue the second American airman who was shot down in southern Iran, The Post has learned.
The secret technology uses long-range quantum magnetometry to find the electromagnetic fingerprint of a human heartbeat and pairs the data with artificial intelligence software to isolate the signature from background noise, two sources close to the breakthrough said.
It was the tool’s first use in the field by the spy agency — and was alluded to Monday afternoon by President Trump and CIA Director John Ratcliffe at a White House briefing.
“It’s like hearing a voice in a stadium, except the stadium is a thousand square miles of desert,” a source briefed on the program told The Post. “In the right conditions, if your heart is beating, we will find you.”
This source and another with knowledge of Lockheed Martin intelligence collection tools told The Post that “Ghost Murmur” was developed by Skunk Works, the aerospace giant’s secretive advanced development division. The company declined to comment.
The technology has been successfully tested on Black Hawk helicopters for future potential use on F-35 fighter jets, the second source said.
