Children all over the world today eagerly await the arrival of Santa Claus or the Christ Child. Thanks to the US Air Force, curious people can follow his journey live on Christmas Eve: a base promises to track his every move using radar and aircraft.
The busiest time for Santa Claus will soon follow; After all, he has to hand out countless presents to all the children around the world in one night. He is under strict military surveillance: the air base ‘Norad’ in the US state of Colorado is already preparing to closely monitor every step of the man in the red robe.
“Chasing Santa Claus is not only a joyful tradition, but also a demonstration of the advanced capabilities of our aerospace defense systems,” said Col. Joseph Roos. The tradition has existed since 1955.
Tradition started with a wrong call
The Christmas tradition started when a child accidentally called the air base and thought Santa Claus was on the line. The staff at the time was immediately involved and the tradition was born.
1,000 helpers are available at the main office to answer calls on Christmas Eve and provide information about Santa’s current location. You can also follow Sinterklaas’ journey via the website noradsanta.org.
