North American Aerospace Defense Command's Santa-tracking program
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. - Some kids who call NORAD on Christmas Eve to find out where Santa is hang up as soon as a volunteer answers the phone - probably because they expected a recording and not a real person, veteran Santa trackers say.
There were some especially awed kids Friday, when one of the people answering the phone was first lady Michelle Obama. Ref. Source 9
