Still from instance SCP-XXXX-C21. Typical features shown here are the silhouetted foreground and reddened clouds.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX instances are contained on a network-isolated hard drive in Standard Storage Locker #1264 at Site-51. Foundation webcrawlers are to screen for and delete SCP-XXXX instances found on video sharing sites in order to reduce exposure risk.

SCP-XXXX footage is only to be viewed by Class-D personnel. Current testing parameters require that a GPS transponder implant be placed in subjects prior to exposure.

All reported deaths due to high impact falls are to be investigated for possible SCP-XXXX involvement.

Description: SCP-XXXX instances are videos containing footage of the sky taken from nondescript vantage points. Each video contains cognitohazardous cloud formations throughout their runtime. These formations primarily evoke feelings of calm and a sense of nostalgia in viewers.

Exposure to SCP-XXXX constitutes an inherent risk for a RED-SKY Event as detailed below.

RED-SKY Events: These events occur subsequently to SCP-XXXX exposure, typically after 2-6 weeks. They follow this sequence:

  • Upon entering REM sleep, the subject starts to dream. This dream begins from the point of view of the SCP-XXXX footage to which they were exposed.
  • The subject’s perspective in the dream begins to rise into the sky without any feeling of force initiating or resisting the movement. This has been reported as occurring at various rates of acceleration, but most recovered subjects described their ascents as “gradual” and “serene."
  • After reaching a variable altitude1, the subject's body will materialize at the position that they arrived at during their dream. They will then begin to fall under the now present effect of gravity and eventually collide with the ground beneath them.
  • From known RED-SKY Event survivor interviews, a voice is reportedly heard prior to impact. The voice has been consistently described as belonging to someone with a close personal relationship to the subject2. The source of this is not currently understood.
