Infrared drone used to rescue missing 78-year-old man on Christmas Eve

Authorities deployed teams to the scene of the heat signature and came upon the lost septuagenarian laying motionless in the bushes beside a road.

Malibu SAR deployed several drones to help in the rescue — including one advanced drone that uses infrared heat-seeking technology to locate targets.

That infrared detector spotted “a significant heat signature over the side of the roadway in thick brush,” according to the sheriff’s office.

“Upon arriving at the scene, the rescuers observed the missing man suffering from cold-related illness, confused and unable to walk,” Malibu SAR said.
