The Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD) began tracking Santa Claus in 1955 and did so until CONAD was replaced with the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) in 1958. NORAD’s mission, 24hours a day, 365 days a year, is to track airplanes, missiles, space launches and anything else that flies in or around the North American continent – including Santa’s sleigh and Rudolph with “his infrarednose- so-bright” signature.
