An instance of SCP XXXX-1

Special Containment Procedures: Due to the unpredictable and intangible nature of SCP-XXXX, priority has been altered from physical containment to information control and risk management, as the two have been determined to be intrinsically linked. The SCP foundation is to maintain constant observation of any area with regularly occurring instances of SCP XXXX-1. This area is to be constricted by default to the auroral zone, where most instances of SCP XXXX-1 develop, but may be reassessed depending on current observations. This space is to be fitted with foundation observation posts, equipped with weather radars, weather balloons and telescopes, at regular intervals of no less than 250 km apart, in accordance with the local Russian, Canadian, and Norwegian governments.

In the event of a geomagnetic storm, during which total surveillance of SCP XXXX-1 becomes a logistical impossibility, local weather beacons in the affected areas are to be consulted to address any informational uncertanties, and any suspected statistical or observational anomalies are to be thoroughly investigated.

Any mention or speculation on SCP XXXX described in any scientific or meteorological journal is to be redacted preceding publication, whereupon all attempted study on the subject is to be discontinued, any findings are to be disposed of, and any individual suspected to have been exposed to these findings is to be administered class-B amnestics.


Description: SCP XXXX is a phenomenon that occurs in conjunction with the solar disturbances in the Earths magnetic field usually referred to as Aurora Borealis, which are denoted as SCP XXXX-1 when referenced in the context of SCP XXXX.

SCP XXXX is a regularly occurring discolouration in SCP XXXX-1, whereby the wavelengths of light emitted from instances of SCP XXXX-1 deviate by a fixed value of approximately 1.732 nanometers lower than the values predicted by quantum physics. This deviation has been measurably confirmed for every frequency of light expected to be emitted in instances of SCP XXXX-1. The cause of SCP XXXX is unknown, but has been preliminarily ascribed the designation SCP XXXX-2.

Due to the fact that many aspects of SCP XXXX-2 remain largely uncertain to the foundation, the only effect of SCP XXXX-2 which is demonstrably and consistently anomalous is SCP XXXX. However, there are many other anomalous events that have been credited to SCP XXXX-2 over the years. As these events and the speculation on them have been decisive in the frequent reclassifications and reevaluations of SCP XXXX, they have been documented as far as has been possible in the logs below.

Please note that many of the claims and conclusions in these logs are speculative in nature, and that the only consistently reproducible anomalous feature of SCP XXXX-2 is SCP XXXX.
