Provisional Site XXXX
("Uncle Skippy's Truck Stop")

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid Neutralized

Special Containment Procedures:XXXX Road is monitored 24/h by surveillance cameras for possible SCP-XXXX events. Foundation personnel posing as road maintenance staff are to remove SCP-XXXX-1 specimens from the road as soon as it is practicable. The specimens are to be registered and stored in Provisional Site XX's cold storage unit. Trained personnel posing as road patrol agents are to intercept and amnesticize affected civilians before they leave XXXX road.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a phenomenon causing the sudden manifestation of nonhuman anomalous entities, designated SCP-XXXX-1, directly in front of vehicles traveling on XXXX road. All SCP-XXXX-1 instances have been observed to expire shortly after manifestation as a result of the impact received from the oncoming vehicle. Conversely, no occupant of the affected vehicles has ever suffered serious wounds, with most of them leaving the event entirely unharmed1.

The estimates available to the Foundation suggest an average of 5-10 manifestation events per week, but the exact relation between the frequency of SCP-XXXX events and road traffic is not well understood.

Addendum SCP-XXXX-A: Sample log of recovered SCP-XXXX-1 instances2.

Date SCP-XXXX-1 Autopsy Results Additional Notes
8/5/1996 DATA
7/12/1998 DATA EFFECTS NOTES
10/10/2000 DATA A two meter long piscine entity resembling a member of the order Selachimorpha.3 The upper snout of the specimen is uniquely modified to mimic a human face in shape, color and texture, possibly as a hunting lure. The specimen survived the impact, but died of asphyxiation and blood loss before Foundation intervention. The specimen's stomach contained a human arm at the time of manifestation. Further tests revealed that the arm is a perfect match for Junior Researcher Blackbox's DNA (Note that at the time, Blackbox possessed all of her appendages).
5/6/2003 Thirty kilograms of recovered glass shards. On-site analysis revealed traces of silver nitrate and a slightly above average radioactivity, but further anomalous features could not be discerned. Presumed dead on impact. The affected driver reported hitting and shattering a "glass giraffe", a statement corroborated by surveillance videos. It is unknown if the instance was alive at the time of the event.

Addendum SCP-XXXX-B: Project Frogger

Due to its relatively high maintenance costs, low human risk and high visibility, SCP-XXXX was scheduled for neutralization in 2002.

The termination project, codenamed Frogger, consisted in the planning and construction of several alternative road arteries that would gradually relieve XXXX road of traffic, allowing its closure. Through the efforts of Foundation-controlled lobbies and covert operatives planted in the (insert appropriate governmental authority), the project caused a 70% decrease in traffic and SCP-XXXX events, culminating with the removal of XXXX road from the national road system on 03/07/2006.

SCP-XXXX was declared neutralized on 03/07/2007, after a year of complete inactivity.


Addendum SCP-XXXX-C: Incident-XXXX

On 15/02/2020 Regional Director placeholdersurname, who was Head Researcher on SCP-XXXX at the time of its neutralization, expired in a road accident on the way to his residence. Investigation of of the accident revealed that it was apparently caused by collision with a large, six legged reptilian organism, dead at the time of discovery.

The reclassification of SCP-XXXX is pending.
