Infrared energy is heat radiation.

It is not visible to the human eye. Night vision goggles, or night vision cameras will often change it to a green. The brightest colors will be the hottest areas.

Living people and animals, hot vehicle engines & exhaust, and etc will all show up as bright on infrared.
