We Could See Sleighs!

Greetings Elves of Sector 4!

Heads up to all elves on the west coast of Sector 4 in South America: we have learned from Flight Command that the test flights are moving south, not east. It may be possible that some elves on the far west coast of South America could see sleighs in flight in the coming days.

If you are located there and see a sleigh, please file a sleigh sighting report. We are yet to see one of those come in from any sector so far.

The test flights are scheduled most of the week over the open waters of the Pacific. But they are fairly close to costal areas of Sector 5 right now and they may wander close to our Sector as they head south.

I’m told there is about a 67% chance these flights or parts of them could be visible from land in Sector 4.

I’ll keep you posted.
