Santa was on a practice flight when disaster struck.

Photographs of a typical practice run in Mexico in 1998 show what appear to be Santa doing a classic Delta Beta Omega maneuver in real-time mode before final toy deployment vector descent.

This was the last known confirmed public sighting of the world’s most beloved flying object! Images of Santa, as you know are classified and removed from circulation by a dedicated troop of Santa’s elfish computer hackers. This one has been left to stimulate Christmas spirit without destroying the necessary belief quotient required for Santa’s sleigh magic to work.

Little known fact: Santa’s global journey occurs in one night and can be tracked on the NORAD Santa tracker. This feat is accomplished by time dilation ant-mass field generators on board the sleigh, coupled with wormhole technology directly through to the North Pole toy deployment base, located at the edge of the hollow earth drop-off zone near the North pole. Santa takes about half a year to deliver all his presents, however if you are lucky enough to see Santa this Christmas Eve, it is because Santa has turned the time dilation field off.

Remember, the naughty list matrix sentinel shuts down for maintenance this evening at 9:45PM PST, so have fun! Reboot takes 1 hour for qualification assessment protocols to load per believing humanoid so be careful.

Enjoy yourself this Christmas eve and remember, Santa says don’t drink and drive. Milk or Coke is good if you have a position of responsibility.
