Michelle Obama helps NORAD track Santa
U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx announced that he had approved an application by “Mr. Kris Kringle for special air transportation operating authority” to allow a reindeer-powered sleigh to traverse U.S. airspace after it was equipped with supplemental safety and navigation gear. All aircraft are reported to have a unique code to identify themselves.

“Our constellation of defense satellites “uses infrared tracking to keep pinpoint accuracy on the heat signature from Rudolph’s nose”, NORAD says in its promotional materials”.
“When he pops up, we call him Big Red One”, he said.
NORAD has video of Santa flying all over the world. He added that St. Nick begins deliveries in island nations before making his way west in the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
Both services go live Thursday to track Santa’s progress, because, obviously, he and the reindeer will be working through the night to deliver presents to the boys and girls of the world.
Alaska is usually his last stop before heading home, Gordinier said.
They can also send an email to [email protected].
NORAD’s involvement began 60 years ago when a wrong telephone number printed in a newspaper advertisement resulted in children calling for Santa. The number was misprinted, and the number connected callers to the CONAD Commander-in-Chief’s operations hotline.
Fortunately, Col. Harry Shoup was in charge and his heart must have grown three sizes that day!
The NORAD Santa-tracking website includes games and allows people to ask Cortana, Microsoft s virtual assistant software, where Santa is at any given moment. When he figured out he was talking to a little boy, he pretended he was Santa.
