Here at NORAD we're all about homeland defense through aerospace control--here's to hoping any and all Grinch activity is being monitored by another department...

Maybe a good question to ask is does he even need that! Like we've mentioned before, we never know what route Santa takes, but we have historical data that shows he visits any and all nations where there are children who believe in him.

If you wanted to hide Rudolph's red nose from NORAD radar - which stealth coating material would you recommend?

When will this AMA end? Will there be more AMA this year?

I just talked to my 7 year old daughter and she thought long and hard before asking this incredibly important question: How old are you?

Why dose Santa follow the Easter Bunny's route?

We always thought spotting Santa was unusual enough!

So you admit that every year for one night you fail to protect the country from a foreign threat? Why am I paying taxes?

Santa knows, of course he knows--he's known for years now! First-hand accounts from some very star-struck interceptor pilots report that after tipping their wings as a way to say hello, the jolly old elf would give his trademark smile, and with a twinkle in his eye he'd be off again... faster than starlight.

If Santa flew over highly restricted air space, what would be the best way to bring him down?

Will norad be jumping to different youtube streams that track santa using norad and chatting with people on the 24th?

HP is one of many corporate and military contributors that make the NORAD Tracks Santa mission possible. HP is gracious enough to provide our operation center with laptops, monitors, keyboards, mice and other computer equipment to ensure our robust mission is executed.

Will Santa have any air support while delivering presents to children in Ukraine?

Does NORAD also track the Grinch, and are allied forces in place in the event he attempts to steal Christmas?

Is Santa aware that NORAD has been tracking him for 67 years? Does he ever pull off any evasive maneuvers in an attempt to throw off the trackers?

Great question! Each year, we've seen an incremental increase to visitors to noradsanta.org, and in 2021, we hit a new record of 14.1 million unique visitors, with nearly 105 million page views!

In the past 67 years what has been the most unusual unknown contact tracked during the Santa tracking mission? Any UFOs or hostile forces trying to intercept Santa?

Great question! We use the social media platforms that best reach our priority audiences--namely children and families around the world. In addition to our website, noradsanta.org, and our call center (1 (877) Hi-NORAD), Santa Trackers can download our mobile app on Android and iOS devices and follow Santa using OnStar, Facebook, and Instagram.

What would happen today if a child called an unlisted number for NORAD looking for Santa (or info on his position)?

Captain Collier here -- SEAD is a mission after my own heart. I used to be assigned to the 8th Fighter Wing in Korea and the "Wolf Pack" has a history of that mission during Vietnam under Colonel Robin Olds.

While we have no clue if Santa has air defenses, I'd like to hope in his delivery of gifts to children throughout the world he wouldn't be targeted by anti aircraft forces.
