The CIA and U.S. military may have employed a secret, never-before-used technology to rescue the second American airman stranded behind Iranian enemy lines.<\/p>\n
On April 3, Iran shot down an F-15E Strike Eagle during Operation Epic Fury, triggering a dramatic search-and-rescue mission to save the two crew members.<\/p>\n
The pilot was found and rescued in \u201cbroad daylight,\u201d but finding the weapons systems officer (WSO) proved far more difficult.<\/p>\n
For nearly 48 hours, a \u201cseriously wounded<\/a>\u201d American colonel evaded capture by scaling a ridge and hiding inside a mountain crevice as Iranian forces worked to close in on his position, The Daily Wire previously reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n President Donald Trump later described the mission as an \u201cEaster Miracle,\u201d according to NBC News<\/a>.<\/p>\n Speculation about how the United States ultimately located the airman has drawn attention online. The New York Post reported<\/a> that the CIA used a classified system known as \u201cGhost Murmur\u201d to detect the airman\u2019s heartbeat from dozens of miles away. In a recent podcast<\/a>, Joe Rogan and guest Duncan Trussell discussed the technology.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is science fiction. This is full minority report, science fiction-level technology. We can find a guy\u2019s heart rate,\u201d Rogan said. \u201cWhat sick f*ck invented this?\u201d<\/p>\n Joe Rogan: \u201cCIA found the pilot who got shot in Iran by using classified tech called Ghost Murmur and AI that detects human heartbeats up to 40 miles away. What sick f*ck invented this. What else don\u2019t they tell us?\u201dpic.twitter.com\/A3L9fge3CT<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Defiant L\u2019s (@DefiantLs) April 9, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u201cThey find this guy\u2019s \u2026 heartbeat, he\u2019s hiding in some kind of crevice, and then they\u2019re able to go extract him,\u201d Trussell told Rogan. \u201cHeartbeat says a lot about a person \u2014 are they sleeping? Are they like in good shape, bad shape? Bet you can learn so much from a heartbeat.\u201d<\/p>\n The classified technology \u201cuses long-range quantum magnetometry to find the electromagnetic signal of a human heartbeat,\u201d according to the Post<\/a>, \u201cand pairs the data with artificial intelligence software to isolate the signature from background noise.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s like hearing a voice in a stadium, except the stadium is a thousand square miles of desert,\u201d a s<\/a>ource told the Post.<\/a> \u201cIn the right conditions, if your heart is beating, we will find you.\u201d<\/p>\n CIA Director Jon Ratcliffe did not confirm specifics, but referenced advanced capabilities during a White House press briefing, calling the tools used in the operation \u201cexquisite\u201d and unlike anything possessed by other intelligence services.<\/p>\n He described the rescue as a \u201crace against the clock,\u201d comparing it to \u201chunting a single grain of sand in the middle of a desert.\u201d<\/p>\n Ratcliffe also said the CIA carried out a deception campaign to mislead Iranian forces searching for the downed airman, adding that U.S. intelligence indicates Iran was \u201cembarrassed\u201d and \u201chumiliated\u201d by the outcome of the mission.<\/p>\n Not everyone is convinced of the government\u2019s account or the powers behind the alleged technology.<\/p>\n Scientific American, a popular science magazine<\/a>, spoke to researchers with expertise in magnetic fields, who describe the story \u201cas almost certainly not true,\u201d claiming the described ability of Ghost Murmur \u201cfinds no support in decades of peer-reviewed physics.\u201d<\/p>\n Chad Orzel, a professor of physics at Union College, said to detect a heartbeat, a Ghost Murmur device would have to sort through more than the Earth\u2019s natural magnetic field, but with \u201cthe heartbeats of the sheep and dogs and jackrabbits\u2014whatever else is running around out there,\u201d according to Scientific American.<\/p>\n \u201cQuantum atomic transitions obey classical antenna physics,\u201d Hans G. Schantz<\/a>, scientist and engineer, posted on X. \u201cVastly superior performance, such as that attributed to Ghost Murmur, defies the known behavior of quantum systems.\u201d<\/p>\n Quantum atomic transitions obey classical antenna physics.
