The first reported sighting of SCP-5000

Description: SCP-5000 is a phenomenon in which the sky distorts into the face of a smiling man (which has been described as "unsettling" and "disturbing") in photos nearly exclusive taken on vacations, birthday parties, and weddings, although it has been seen elsewhere. It is yet unknown whether the face appears during processing of the photograph, or if it was physically present while the photograph was taken.

Due to the nature of the photographs SCP-5000 often appears in, it has been theorised that SCP-5000 only appears during the peak of any human in the photographs happiness, a theory supported by the fact that most people who reported seeing SCP-5000 also stated that they felt an extreme sense of joy when the picture was taken.
