Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Police drone finds missing child in massive cornfield
Thermal drones enable users to see in low-light conditions and through
obscurants like smoke, fog, and dust, making them ideal for nighttime
operations and challenging environments.
Alto, is a small town in Wisconsin, USA with a population of around
1,000. Last month, a three-year-old child went into a massive cornfield without
being noticed by his family. The child was last seen at around 7:30 p.m. All
barns and buildings on the property had already been searched. So, the sheriff’s
office requested a specialized drone equipped with thermal cameras. At around
9:30 p.m., the thermal imaging drone identified a heat source in the middle of
the cornfield. Guided by the drone operator, officers navigated the dense field
and located the child uninjured 15 minutes later around half a mile from home. Without
the thermal imaging drone, searching the entire field might have taken hours,
potentially altering the outcome.
Watch the video to see how a thermal drone found the missing 3-year-old
toddler in a dense cornfield at night.
