Having already made his list – and having checked it twice – Santa Claus is coming. You can track his progress on Christmas Eve.
For 70 years, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) has made a holiday tradition of its Santa Tracker, which follows St. Nick across the globe. Santa surveillance reportedly began when the agency, then called the Continental Air Defense Command, began getting calls from children looking for Santa after Sears goofed and printed the command’s secret number, Air Force Col. Harry W. Shoup told The Associated Press in 1999.
Since then, NORAD has upgraded its Santa-tracking technology by installing Santa cams in space to monitor the jolly old elf, the agency says. “NORAD tracks Santa, but only Santa knows his route, which means we cannot predict where and when he will arrive at your house,” a senior NORAD official said in a news release.
This year, the NORAD Tracks Santa YouTube channel is also displaying Christmas celebration videos submitted by families. “Their excitement reflects the spirit that has made NORAD Tracks Santa a worldwide favorite for nearly seventy years,” according to the channel.
