Lockheed Martin 'Ghost Murmur'

[TsrJoe]

I thought the 'bar' section was appropriate for this one ?
long-range quantum magnetometry ?
a true 'secret project' or conspiracy bs. ?

The top secret CIA tool ‘Ghost Murmur’ used to rescue the US airman downed in Iran

Missing aviator’s exact location deep in mountain wilderness pinpointed with help of previously-undisclosed device after F-15E Strike Eagle jet shot down southwest of Isfahan Friday

Exclusive | The secret, never-before-used CIA tool that helped find airman downed in Iran: ‘If your heart is beating, we will find you’

“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,…

As much surprising as secret (to the public) as NASA's satellite tracking of animal (lions, rats) paths trough footprints in the sand or their (pee) chemical signature on their paws. And that was like 20 years ago. In fact this has been used in the war on terror.
Heartbeat detection would require SAR like radar to measure the elevation of the chest. No different from NASA's maping and real time measurement of ocean waves as far as 30-40 years ago. Today we got sufficient resolution to measure the wakes of submarines deep down within the oceans at least 2-3 years ago. And this is supposed to be our's and China's next generation way of detecting subs.

I thought only masked serial killers could hear heartbeats

A true 'secret project' or conspiracy bs. ?

Not a secret technology but more of an undisclosed capability.

Undisclosed alien space-bat physics, more like.

Existing magnetometers can detect heartbeats at a distance of a few centimetres. This device claims to do it at several hundred kilometres.

I suspect at some point of this story 'heartbeat' has been taken literally by a journalist, rather than indicating general human signatures, and the Agency pivoted on it as a good cover story.

If you've got enough SAR resolution to measure chest movement, you're already pointing at your guy. ...

As I mentioned in another thread, there is speculation that this might be a 'eating carrots for night vision' style cover story.

Due to cost cutting, they'll just have to get Jason and Michael Myers anyway..and that lying recruiter will get what's coming to him at last.

Those space lasers cost money!

Maybe it was:
Colonel Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Or,
Harry Morgan and the Sorcerer's Stone

Don't forget the vampires.

WRT listening for heartbeats, why home on something so faint when you can geolocate the signal from his survival radio?

Shh! The cover story is they use only smoke signals--that's the ticket---Morgan Fairchild.

Vampires are Goths...you can't get any work out of them...ghouls and djinn remain neutral...Deep Ones can't handle the desert, and the werewolves eat the pilots along with everyone else.

Encrypted, GPS, satcoms are a thing... And have been one for a long time. This ain't rocket science.
