Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-xxxx is to be kept inside a secure video storage unit at the media archive of Site ██. When in use, SCP-xxxx should not be removed from its casing or exposed to any strong magnetic sources. A VHS player and an analog television has been provided in Observation Theatre 06 at Site ██, as well as video equipment to record viewings. Due to the graphic and disturbing nature of the contents of SCP-xxxx, viewer discretion is advised.

Description: SCP-xxxx is a series of 5 standard VHS cassettes containing a total of 8 hours 37 minutes of footage. Each cassette is labelled with an adhesive sticker marked with ball-point pen (see addenda for individual labels). Laboratory analysis indicates that all cassettes are made of ordinary material, and serial numbers correspond with home cassette tapes produced in September of 1981. Video watermarks within the footage date the recordings spanning a period between 09/22/1981 and 03/12/1991.

SCP-xxxx contains a total of 18 separate recordings apparently made with a portable video recorder by Kevin Fidalgo, a serial killer active in the United States between 1979 and 1991 known by the moniker "The North Valley Ripper". Each recording records the interactions between Fidalgo and a victim, which apparently take place in an extraterrestrial location. Video analysis has confirmed the videos are not faked or altered in any way, and star field mapping and analysis of visible near-orbit satellites have failed to provide a match to any known local or extra-solar bodies.

Addendum: SCP-xxxx was obtained following the death of Kevin Fidalgo, who was killed in a shoot-out with police during an attempted sting operation.
