Local Christmas Report Requested

/0 Comments/in , , /by

As you saw Elf Pinky in Sector 5 say, we’re asking all elves to send in the same report. This is very rare. This is worldwide. This is asked of tracker elves everywhere.

We held a Zoom meeting with North Pole Flight Command today and Elf Roger said that after a serious conversation with Santa yesterday it was decided we need to do this.

You can access the report at this link. 

We need to know what you are seeing out there. Please answer the questions and send it in as soon as you can.

This is a points-eligible report. It counts!

Important: Local Christmas Report Needed

/1 Comment/in , , /by

North Pole Flight Command has issued an urgent request for a Local Christmas Report from all areas. You can fill out the report right here.

I’ll just tell you straight up that they are very concerned about the Christmas Spirit. This comes straight from the top, from Santa himself.

This report relies on your opinion. Don’t be shy is sharing it. Tell us about the Christmas spirit in the area where you are.

I’m not sure why this is important right now but this was asked of all elves in every sector.

Let’s get to work on this report.

Thanks.

Use the Sleigh Sighting Report

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Elves, as a reminder, if you see something in the sky you think might be a sleigh – please use the Sleigh Sighting report.

We are getting a higher level of possible sightings these days, powered by Operation Airlift, the test flights of Santa’s sleigh, and all the purported UFO activity out there. Elves are seeing things but they are not sure what they are.

That’s fine. If it’s a sleigh or you think it is a sleigh, please use the Slight Sighting Report found at this link. We can try to chase it down for you to confirm it or not.

Just like every other sector we have yet to have a confirmed sighting this year. But the possibility of sighting a sleigh goes up every day between now and Christmas. It’s going to happen eventually.

Freelance elves, please use your standard report.

Any report that provides photos or videos get a BIG bonus!

Drones in Sector 5

/5 Comments/in , , /by

Hello Elves of Sector 5,

Elf Rolf posted about UFOs in Sector 3 yesterday and no sooner did he do that than new reports started to come in from elves in our Sector. The activity in New Jersey has especially resulted in a lot of reports. Here is one image that was sent us of what is being seen in New Jersey:

Drones

One tracker elf we talked to who personally has witnessed these drones says that they are there in the skies all night, moving back and forth. They hover a lot. They do move some but largely just sit in one spot.

He described them as having a propeller noise or some kind of engine. They could be as big as a car, he said.

With these reports have come a lot of questions to North Pole Flight Command and to the Regional Tracking Center here in St. Nicholas.

Does the North Pole have drones? Yes, we do. But, they are not this size and they do NOT have these colors of lights. The North Pole has not dispatched any drones outside of North Pole air space since last Christmas and currently does not have any drones deployed anywhere in the world.

Does Santa’s sleigh look like these drones so many are seeing? NO. Lights on ALL North Pole sleighs are larger and brighter. Typically they are all white lights. They front from front to back of the sleigh, and along the bridle lines to the reindeer. So a North Pole sleigh in the sky will appear as a long floating string of lights.

So far, nothing that has been captured of these drones could ever be confused with a genuine North Pole sleigh.

We are monitoring events with the drones/UFOs in North America. We are seeing reports from California, Arizona, Colorado, Texas, New Jersey and spot locations up in Canada. There is no pattern and no air activity related to the North Pole in any of these sightings.

Please continue to report what you see. We will do our best to confirm whether or not what you are seeing is North Pole connected. So far this week, none of what is being reported can by confirmed by North Pole Flight Command.

UFOs Reported in Sector 3

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Elves,

Over the past couple of weeks in the regular news media there have been reports of UFOs in many places around the world. In our Sector, they are appearing in England and in Germany. There might be other places as well. Here are a couple of photos of what some people are seeing:

UFOs

UFOs

Some people have been sending in pictures like this and reporting the UFOs. Some think they are connected with North Pole Flight Command or Santa in some way.

We are aware of these events. There are so many reported sightings that it is hard for us to keep track of them.

We even have elves on ships of the North Pole Navy that have photographed or captured video of UFOs in the North Atlantic.

We can assure you what these things are NOT: they are NOT flying sleighs. In fact, we are yet to receive a photo in our regional tracking center from our sector this year of a flying sleigh.

We don’t bring this up to scare anyone. Like others, we cannot say what these things are. But we are aware of them and we’re wondering, just like everyone else is.

For the record, we are keeping all North Pole sleigh craft far away from areas that report UFO activity.

We remain interested in this story. We will follow the direction of local governments, now and into the future, when it relates to Santa’s flight or flights of other sleighs of the North Pole. We do not expect issues that might impede Santa’s presence in our sector this year.

Just know we are aware and are following the news closely on this situation. If you see something that you think might be a sleigh, by all means report it. We will try to confirm if it is a sleigh or not.

Thanks.

Elfie Selfies Wanted

/3 Comments/in , /by

Hello Sector 5,

I’ve been doing some research here, just comparing where we are now to this same date a year ago.

We are actually ahead in our elf count – more elves this year than last year by about 2%. We have an increase of 16% in freelance elves and a drop, actually, of North Pole tracker elves of about 3%.

I’m not worried about that. We’ll top out better than 30 million total elves by the time Santa takes off.

What I’m a little concerned about is that we are down on roof reports by about 8%. I know we’ll see a rush over the next few weeks, so I’ll just keep an eye on it for now. But if you’re new and have not yet sent in a roof report, please do so.

By the way, a shout out to all those great elves on the Elf Wall helping all the new elves out. You’re doing a great job and I thank  you!

Also, I’m working on putting up photos of as many of our Sector 5 elves as we can. I have a big wall inside the Tracking Center here in Minnesota that I’m putting Elfie Selfies on so our team here knows what you all look like.

If you haven’t done so already, can you please send in a selfie so we can add your smiling face to our wall? Here’s the form to send it in.

Thanks!

Do You See Sleighs?

/1 Comment/in , /by

Do you see sleighs?

For whatever reason the test flights of Santa’s sleigh are over our sector. That, plus the fact the Operation Air Lift is now underway, there are a lot of signs in our skies of activity.

Add to that the phenomenon of UFOs and visible satellites in the skies these days and there are a lot of things going on.

Where possible, try to capture photos or videos of anything that looks like a sleigh to you in the skies.

We’ve have had a few reports sent in the past couple of weeks. Keep them coming. Use this report.

Stuff We Don’t Talk About

/4 Comments/in , /by

Elf Moe has been on a tear, banning elves almost as fast as they sign up.

They get banned because they don’t really understand what it means to be an elf. We ask them to go to ElfHQ.com to learn the Elf Code and to take the Elf Oath. If they really understand those things they would be more careful here in the world of elves.

Of course, many of them are young. Some are just too excited to be an elf. Some were never meant to be elves in the first place.

To be an elf takes a special kind of person. An elf has two ears and one mouth – and uses them in that proportion.

An elf has to be really smart. They need to read, to learn and to act in a certain way to be an elf. That’s because Santa has standards. Santa didn’t get to become Santa by saying everything that just pops into his head. He had to learn how to talk, to respond and to act to get the reputation he has as Santa.

The same is true of all of us elves. We have to learn that there are things we know as elves and things we should talk about as elves. Even more true are the things we should NOT talk about as elves, too.

For example, Elf of the Shelf. I’ve talked about this plenty of times in the past and I won’t get into it again. You can read about that stuff elsewhere.

But I’ll just say here we, as elves, in this world right here on SantaTrackers.net – we don’t talk about it.

Why? Because it’s a personal matter.

Officially, Santa and the North Pole have nothing to do with personal elves known as Elf on the Shelf. We don’t know where they come from or who manages them. But that’s just one reason why we don’t talk about them.

We don’t talk about them because they are personal.

Not everyone, you see, has a personal elf or an Elf on the Shelf. So not only CAN’T we talk about them officially it’s not nice to talk about them when everyone doesn’t have one. Make sense?

Another thing we don’t talk about are things shared with us from our Elf Supervisor or North Pole Flight Command. You are shared information here because you need to know it as we track Santa for Santa. But the whole world doesn’t need that information.

Think about it. What if you know that Santa is in a certain place and we talk about it here? That’s fine. That’s good. That’s what the community is here for. But you need to be smart before you share that information with someone who hasn’t take the Elf Oath. What if that is someone who doesn’t like Santa or Christmas? What would they do with that information?

You gotta think.

And another thing we stay away from here is talking about other Santa trackers out there like Google or Norad. What’s so bad about them? They’re not bad. They’re just wrong. They don’t work for Santa. They don’t connect with North Pole Flight Command. They use the stuff of the US military and of airline technology to track Santa.

And what’s wrong with that? IT’S WRONG. They don’t have information from Santa to say where Santa is.

We don’t talk about them here because:

  1. We don’t want to give anyone wrong information.
  2. They aren’t connected with Santa.
  3. They frequently give out bad information.

That’s it. So don’t talk about them. Don’t bring them up.

Is it bad that you, as an elf working for Santa, goes to the places to see what they have to say? No, that’s your personal business. But don’t bring what they do HERE and talk like it is the truth, because it isn’t. Keep it to yourself.

What about Santa? Can we as elves talk about Santa?

Of course we can. And we should. Santa is one of the good guys. We realize that even you, an elf, are still learning about Santa. We try to give you the right information about Santa right here from the North Pole. Why wouldn’t we want everyone to know that.

So think, Elf. Think hard before you say things.

You’re an elf now. Santa expects you to be smart.

Transit Report Needed

/0 Comments/in , /by

Elves of Sector 1, I send you greetings from Japan.

Flight Command is requesting a Transit Report from us as soon as we can provide it. They are trying to understand traffic patterns in every country. I think this will apply mostly to larger cities.

It is rare to get this kind of request. I’m guessing they want to know what might have changed since the last time Santa was there.

If you can send in this report, please do so. Here’s the link for it.

Thanks.

Mrs. Claus as a Santa Tracker

/1 Comment/in , /by

Every Christmas Eve the Claus residence houses the North Pole Christmas party. As each department completes their work they Claus home fills with elves who track Santa together. Nobody is more on top of where Santa is and what he is doing than Mrs. Claus.

Just as Elf Roger has always said, on Christmas Eve, we’re all Santa trackers.

Mrs. Claus, of course, wears many hats. She is Santa’s wife, partner and expert in all things that happen at the North Pole. Those who were here with us last year when Santa was on his worldwide walkabout saw how Mrs. Claus takes charge of things. She does that to help Santa and there isn’t another elf at the North Pole that Santa trusts more than Mrs. Claus.

Yesterday here on Santa Trackers we had an individual signup and pretend to be Mrs. Claus. That person lied and a lot of elves here believed that person was actually Mrs. Claus.

Elf Agent X has explained how that happened and how you can tell going forward if someone is who they say they are.

But I’m here to tell you why you may never ever see Mrs. Claus here on SantaTrackers.net.

First of all, there are many reasons why Mrs. Claus cannot be here. Time is one of the biggest reasons. We rarely see even Santa here and he has to work hard to find just a minute here and there just to come here to interact with you.

I’m Mrs. Claus’ Chief of Staff. Her job is so big she needs a whole team of elves to help her. As Chief of Staff it is my job to control who has access to Mrs. Claus and when she meets with people. Trust me when I tell you that Mrs. Claus was not on SantaTrackers.net yesterday.

Think about it. Does that make any sense?

Yesterday was Thanksgiving Day. Think about all that was going on here on Thanksgiving Day. The big meal, the Elf Parade, the Turkey Bowl, the Christmas light walkabout – when was Mrs. Claus suppose to find time to come to SantaTrackers.net?

No, that wasn’t Mrs. Claus.

But there are many other reasons why Mrs. Claus likely won’t ever spend much time here.

The Tracker Elf Community is run by Elf Crash. It is a sub-department of North Pole Flight Command, run by Elf Roger Star.

Santa and Mrs. Claus do not mix it up here much on SantaTrackers.net out of respect for those two very important elves.

They don’t want to add more cooks to the kitchen, so to speak.

In other words, they respect the space and authority of those who have charge over you.

Now, we know that all of you have a lot of interest in both Santa and Mrs. Claus. You want to get to know them, to ask questions, and to be their friends. They want that too.

That’s why they occasionally are featured in North Pole Chat at SantaUpdate.com. At least a couple of times each year they are there for that.

Santa, because of his job delivering to the world, has business here. And he will talk to you here sometimes as it relates to the work you have together.

But Mrs. Claus, unless she is asked by Santa to do so, or invited by Elf Crash or Elf Roger, wouldn’t just show up and start talking.

Please understand that. Please understand that even if Mrs. Claus had time to be here she likely would have me, her Chief of Staff, manage her account and organize her contacts. Mrs. Claus is a stickler for protocol. She stays within the rules, works by permission and honors the chain of command. She stays in her lane. If she ever showed up here it would never be like that fake person who claimed to be her yesterday.

If you have questions for or about Mrs. Claus, I’ll be glad to answer them for you.

I’m sure when the time is right we’ll hear again soon of another chat scheduled for her and Santa.

I just wanted to let you know this stuff.

 

Santa is on the Move

/3 Comments/in , /by

Elf Rolf beat me to it! I was on the call with Elf Crash as well. He’s asking elves in Sectors 3 and 5 to be on alert and to send in a weather report ASAP.

We don’t know the hour of Santa’s flight back to the North Pole. But we do know that Flight Command is going all kinds of crazy trying to get things lined up for his return.

This storm is dangerous. The landing will be the most important part of this trip.

We don’t know exactly where Santa is today. Have you seen him?

It’s clear, however, that his return flight to the North Pole later tonight will go through either Sector 3 or Sector 5.

Let’s support the effort to get him home safely.

Stand by for additional news or instruction today.  Anything could happen.

Thanks.

Elves on Alert Status

/2 Comments/in , /by

I just got off the phone with Elf Crash. He’s placing us on alert status.

If you’re available, please send in a current weather report.

I’ve been instructed to tell you that sleigh sightings late tonight will be very possible in our sector.

If you see something – if the weather allows – please report it.

This is not a drill. Santa is in the air.
