Item #: SCP-4378

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4378 is to be kept in a 4x4 metre basic square shaped cell and has no requirements for security overlooking. SCP-4378 is to be place on a pedestal completely made of Iron and strong materials which can support at least 20 tons. The roof of the cell is to be made easily removeable for easy crane/heavy equipment access.

Description: SCP-4378 is a basic purple and red mixed bowling ball. The bowling ball weighs approximately 11.3 tons and is 8.5 inches in diameter. The possibility for SCP-4378 to weigh 11.3 tons is currently unknown, no apparent physical appearances have currently linked SCP-4378s weight. After multiple attempts to break SCP-4378 to appear its inner mass to possibly link its physical appearance to its weight have failed, (See experiment log). SCP-4378 may be moved with lifting machinery capable to lift at least at the safest 13 tons.

Experiment Log (Possibly break/open SCP-4378)
A: Engineering and Technical department personnel enter the chamber, uses an electric circular saw to attempt to cut SCP-4378 in half.
Result: Failed, circular saw snaps into pieces after too much pressure.

B: Logistics, engineering and technical department personnel work together to lift SCP-4378 out of its chamber with a 15-ton grade crane and drop it from a height into an iron slab outside the Area [DATA EXPUNGED] in a secure fenced zone which since has been designated for SCP-4378 tests only.
Result: Failed, SCP-4378 almost ripped through the iron slab, the iron slab has been pushed approximately 30cm into the ground. No physical damage has been spotted.

C: Engineering and Technical department personnel install a hydraulic press in SCP-4378’s chamber and attempt to press SCP-4378 to as much as the hydraulic press can take (Approx. 50-ton press power).
Result: Mild-Success, after 1-hour SCP-4378 was pressed into a state where it is now 0.5 cm less high, pressure required was the 40-ton mark.

D: SCP-4378 was placed inside a cubicle and the cubicle was placed inside an extremely high temperature furnace (Reading 3,200 degrees Celsius)
Result: Slight colour disfigurement, no real physical changes in shape.

E: Engineering and Technical department personnel install a hydraulic press in SCP-4378’s chamber and attempt to press SCP-4378 to as much as the hydraulic press can take (Approx. 100-ton press power).
Result: Mild-Success, after 1-hour SCP-4378 was pressed into a state where it is now 0.5 cm less high, pressure required was the 80-ton mark. It appears at any level of pressure it will only decrease by 0.5 cm per hour.

No further tests are necessary.
