update Way up north by the Arctic Circle above northern Russia a flaming vapor trail was just reported moments ago. Unless someone fired a missile or a rocket that has to be Santa Claus. If the reports are true — and we believe they are because we’ve been in constant contact with military sources from many nations — it can only mean Santa has been to Kazakhstan and many remote areas of Russia recently.

I am attempting to get a report from the Tracking Center but I still cannot get past the lockdown. They are following my updates from inside there and hopefully someone in there can slip us an update with more information.
