SCP - 3931
Item #: SCP - 3931
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP - 3931 is to be contained within an enlarged space. SCP - 3931 is to be have its wheels chocked, and under NO circumstance should any personnel stand near, under or in front of the blades.
Description:
SCP - 3931 is a Douglas AC-47 'Spooky' aircraft gunship, of Vietnam-era vintage. SCP - 3931 wears a green and tan splotched camouflage and bears no insignias or tail numbers, and thus cannot be traced to a crew or air base. There are around 20-25 holes located in and around the forward cargo door, approximately 23mm in diameter. The holes are consistent with anti-air and aircraft cannons of the period. SCP - 3931 was discovered with its landing gear down, and flaps in the ‘landing’ position. Any attempts to disassemble or remove parts from SCP – 3931 have been unsuccessful, as the rivets appear to be permanently in place. As such, a separate room had to be constructed to safely store it.
When D-class subjects initially entered SCP - 3931, they noticed a faint odor of blood, though none could be chemically detected inside the cabin. One subject, who was sitting directly facing the holes in the cargo hold was killed after 15-20 of similarly-sized holes formed in his abdomen. Autopsies remain inconclusive, as the holes appear to be cut and cauterized at the molecular level. From time to time, SCP – 3931 starts its engines, despite a lack of fuel present in the tanks. This proved hazardous when a D-class subject was killed by the spinning blades. During both incidents, the personnel involved were both of Russian and Vietnamese military background, respectively. SCP – 3931 has also been observed raising and lowering flaps, as if trying to take off.
Furthermore, SCP – 3931 shows psychological traits. While sitting in the cockpit and/or captain’s seat, subjects reported seeing the flight controls moving on their own, as well as instruments reading time, altitude and other typical flight measurements. According to one account, a subject had, what they described as a ‘lucid dream’, and could see where the SCP - 3931 was ‘flying’, despite it being on the ground, in containment. The cockpit was swabbed for psychedelic compounds, and none were detected.
Recovery
SCP – 3931 was initially detected by a Vietnamese radar station in [REDACTED]. SCP – 3931 was repeatedly contacted, and fighters were scrambled to intercept. It appeared to be flying level, but no crew was present in the cockpit. Furthermore, the rear cargo door was ajar. SCP – 3931 finally responded to the radar station controllers, but with incomprehensible static. It then took a steep dive, crashing into a swamp near [REDACTED]. SCP – 3931 was rediscovered shortly thereafter, buried roughly 4 meters in the mud. After being excavated, it was discovered that despite the hard dive into the terrain, the aircraft sustained no physical damage. It was in near perfect condition, despite its age. It was quickly placed in Foundation custody.
Addendum 1
During SCP - 3931's recovery, a Sony tape recorder was found, along with two reels of tape. One tape was found to be a makeshift transcript of flight, possibly recorded by one of the flight crew. The other is completely incoherent static, as well as an air raid siren. It is unknown which crew members were speaking, so their names are listed as 1, 2, 3. "1" was most likely the pilot, and likely closest to the recorder, is best audible. "2", is probably the copilot and "3" being a radar operator. A fourth crew member is referenced, though they are never heard on the tapes. It is presumed that they were sitting nearest to the cargo door, where the numerous holes were located.
Tape 1
1: Damn, they said that we'd be out of here, maybe 3 weeks ago? What's going on?
2: Are you complaining? We've got, like, the easiest job. Or, safest, I should say, [inaudible]. We get to sit here all day in this lovely, lovely aircraft.
3: Copy that.
1: Copy that.
1: Hey, [inaudible], comfy?
*no response is heard*
3: I think he's asleep.
2: Shouldn't be. We're on approach, I'll go wake him.
*Bumping sound, presumably 2 leaving their seat*
1: She flies way better now, without the thirteen guns and the flares on board.
3: Can you explain to me again, why we have none?
1: Well, you know those big new planes, the C-130s?
3: Yeah?
1: They're starting to convert them into gunships now. I understand why. Way faster, and four engines are better for when one gets shot. Also have way more firepower.
3: That right? So I suppose these are just for cargo duty now?
1: Yep. Actually, they're decommissioning this one next may. I'll miss her, sure will.
*Slow walking, assumed to be 2 returning to the cockpit.*
2: I got him up. How long till we reach the strip?
1: 'Bout a minu…
*1 is interrupted by 3*
3: Guys, we got an unidentified craft, south, 7-o-clock!*
2: Probably one of ours.
1: Wouldn't surprise me.
*A low frequency 'boom' can be vaguely heard. This is assumed to be the sonic boom from a fighter jet.*
2: Fuck me. That's a mig…
*The engines can be heard speeding up, and wind noise increases. This is likely the pilot's attempt at evasive maneuvers.*
*A distant rumble can be heard, following by metallic dings. The rest of the tape records almost complete silence. Strong wind noise can be heard, and the plane's altitude warnings sound.*" hide="- Hide whatever"]]
