for 59 years the North American Aerospace Defense Command has happily added keeping tabs on one large Sleigh, a jolly fellow and 8-9 reindeer to there conventional duties. There Website and Hotline is a holiday tradition.
The Story of Why they started tracking Father Christmas dates back to 1955 When a Sear and Roebuc In Store in Colorado Springs, Co printed a Advertisement claiming to be a hotline directly to Santa's Workshop on December 24th. But there was a typo, The Number on the Ad ME2-6681 was not to the Sears Store hotline.... It was the Red Phone The National Command Phone that is supposed only connect the base command to the top of the national Command. that night children were calling the newly opened NORAD cheyenne Mountain Complex Combat information Center all night long. After Col Shoup who operated the line made a Child cry thinking it was some one pulling a prank he employed some military ingenuity smoothed it over and found himself fielding more calls as the Red Phone turned from Red Alert to Santa Red. The Col Directed his staff to assist as they began giving updates on Big Red's flight plan. As a chosen Hour He Called a local Radio station informing them that St. Nick's location was in Town.. Since then Santa Tracking is one of the US Government largest outreach programs every year thousands of Volunteers From the USAF, US Army, USN, USMC Canadian Armed forces and Civilians report for duty to field calls at the Santa Tracker Hotline 1-877-HI-NORAD
