We were out on night-vision goggles and using forward-looking infrared to help our search. Unfortunately, when the moon went down, we had low visibility and had to terminate the search early. We were down at 300 feet, and it became tough to see the water at that point.

The sun to me is dark / And silent as the moon, / When she deserts the night / Hid in her vacant, interlunar cave.

The night walked down the sky with the moon in her hand.

On a night without the moon or stars you can’t see a thing, but you can imagine anything.

A full moon, a quiet night. That is so special.

We are especially excited by today's announcement because new advances in IR illumination are making our lives safer. Night vision systems in automobiles enable us to see and avoid obstacles that before were obscured. IR illumination for security applications provides increased confidence and well-being. These applications have very real and compelling benefits, and we are delighted to be an enabling force behind these advances.
