UFOs Reported in Sector 3

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:

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.

About this Elf: Elf Rolf Janssen

Elf Rolf is a native of Austria. As a young man he moved to Russia and was a refugee of that country in 1915 when he found his way to Santa’s employ. Skilled in carpentry, Rolf was given duties in Santa’s workshop where he worked for many years. Charged with building the first airplane Santa ever flew in 1927 — thanks to his wood working skills — Elf Rolf was transferred to the Research and Development Department where he served for many years as a sleigh designer and eventually as a flight test pilot.

Rolf took a departure from that work in the mid-1960s when he pursued a degree in computer science, a pioneering field for the North Pole. He returned in 1968 and for years served in data processing before being transferred to the North Pole Tracking and Flight Command Center as an IT specialist. He was instrumental in helping Santa to set up a network of satellites that have become the backbone of North Pole information systems to this day.
