WHAT organization is charged with the missions of aerospace warning, aerospace control, and maritime warning in the defense of North America? Hint: Also responsible for tracking one of the world's most arguably famous people.
NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command)
NORAD has been tracking Santa since 1955 when a young child dialed the misprinted phone number from a department store advertisement in the local newspaper. That phone number rang into the Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD) Operations Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The operations center director was quick to realize a mistake had been made, and assured the youngster that he was Santa. And so began the affiliation of NORAD and Santa. The tradition continued when NORAD was formed in 1958. Each year since, NORAD has dutifully reported Santa’s location on Dec. 24 to millions of children and families across the globe. NORAD also tracks Santa Claus every Dec. 24 through the NORAD Tracks Santa program.
