The despair of being lost is suddenly replaced with an indescribable joy: I have been found--eucatastrophe! We replace despair and sorrow and feelings of failure with the knowledge of God’s love, and the lifting of the weight of sin off our shoulder;

“We got him!” So dramatic this past week was the jubilation by President Trump and others over the finding and rescue of a lost US airman downed over hostile territory.

President Trump made the dramatic call in his Truth Social account as the missing US airmen was rescued from a mountain crevice deep inside a remote area of Iran (LaPorta, et al, 2026). The F-15 E pilot and his weapons system officer safely ejected from their downed plane while conducting a mission during Operation Epic Fury. The plane’s pilot was rescued within a few hours.

"God is Good" and Ghost Murmurs

But the weapons system officer was hurt in his ejection and sought to hide in the Zagros Mountain range from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard troops who had put a $60,000 bounty on his head (Reyes, 2026). While the airman evaded the Iranian forces, a significant manhunt was initiated to recover the missing officer before the Iranian army could capture him and parade him before the cameras.

What was so extraordinary about the rescue was the desolated area in which the airman was hiding. The US Air Force Colonel climbed a 7,000-foot ridge, hid in a crevice in the mountains for safety; and submitted a short, unusual message over the radio: “God is good” (Reyes, 2026).

So how did we find him? The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) deployed an incredible new device called a Ghost Murmur to locate the missing airman (Nelson, 2026b). This incredible technology uses long-range quantum magnetometry to find the electromagnetic signal of a human heartbeat (Nelson, 2026a). The barren desert landscape provided an ideal opportunity to utilize this high-tech device, which experts suggested was like trying to isolate one voice in a stadium – except that stadium was a thousand square miles of desert (Nelson, 2026b).

The name of the device was coined because of how the tool is used – a ‘murmur’ is a clinical term for a heart rhythm.........
