The North American Aerospace Defense Command usually focuses on USA airspace threats, but switches gears each year to help children track Santa’s journey.

The military’s North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, at Peterson Air Force Base, launched its 60th year of tracking Santa’s Yuletide adventure.

Instead of reaching Santa, the phone number went into to the Continental Air Defense Command’s operations hotline. Not wanting to crush the spirits of children, then-colonel Harry Shoup told his colleagues to play along and provide callers with Santa’s exact location.

You can also watch videos of Santa soar over great landmarks and large cities on the site, as his flight plan takes him overhead, of course.
