Heat-Seeking Drone Finds Missing Boy In A Cornfield

October 18, 2019

A 6-year-old boy in Minnesota who had been missing was spotted safe in a cornfield thanks to a heat-seeking drone.

More than 600 people volunteered to find Ethan who had run off to play with his dog near his home in Palmer Township -- but it was the technology in the sky that located the boy.

Ethan was seen, with his dog Remington, around 1:50 a.m. Wednesday lying down in a cornfield a little more than a mile east of his home, Sheriff Joel Brott said in a statement.

He gave his dog "Remmie" a big hug this morning after he stuck by his side all night and kept him warm.

Ethan told KMSP that Remmie kept him safe and he thanked all who came out to help look for him.
