Summary
New information continues to emerge in the remarkable story of how the American pilot shot down in Iran was rescued on Easter. In the press conference announcing the operation’s success, President Trump alluded to a top-secret device called the “Ghost Murmur” and, depending on who you talk to, it is either a quantum leap in our ability to detect electromagnetic signals like a human heartbeat or a gross exaggeration based more in science fiction than in real science. Most of us understand all too well how difficult it can be to filter out the noise in our lives today.

| 0:55.8 | real science. |
| 0:57.0 | So what does the device do and where does it fall on that spectrum? |
| 1:01.6 | When the New York Post broke the story earlier this week, they described the ghost murmur |
| 1:06.3 | as a device that uses, quote, long-range quantum magnetometry to find the electromagnetic signal |
| 1:13.6 | of a human heartbeat and pairs the data with artificial intelligence software to isolate the signature |

| 1:21.7 | To be honest, I understand very little of what I just wrote. |
| 1:26.1 | The important part, though, is that sources claim the military was able to use the device |
| 1:31.5 | in concert with the airman's locator beacon to pinpoint his location. |
| 1:35.8 | One source described, it's like hearing a voice in a stadium, except the stadium is a thousand |
