^^ XXXX-Incident-76 Rare occurrence of multiple SCP-XXXX events ^^

Special Containment Procedures: When not active personnel are required to not enter SCP-XXXX’s containment zone, except when intercepting interlopers or instances of SCP-XXXX-A

Containment of SCP-XXXX consists of ███ thousand meters of chain link fencing topped with razor wire. “Danger Live Munitions” and “Restricted Zone” signage is to be posted every 20 meters along the fence line.

Instances of SCP-XXXX-A and are to be captured, observed and categorized then released or terminated on a case by case basis.

Intercept teams shall remain on standby to prevent outside access of SCP-XXXX. Subjects are to be captured, interrogated, administered Class 1 Amnesiacs and deposited outside the perimeter fence.

Maintenance of perimeter fence and neutrino detection equipment is to be completed on a bi-monthly basis unless otherwise directed by site personnel.

Description: SCP-XXXX is best described as a beam of blue-white light, roughly 3 meters in diameter, extending from the upper atmosphere to ground level. Events randomly begin and last usually ten to fifteen minutes. The space within the beam have been described as an energized viscous gel. [See Incident-XXXX-94]

The range of SCP-XXXX’s events can be found from ██.██████,-███.██████to ██.██████,-███.██████.
This zone has been expanded three times since 19██.

SCP-XXXX’s effect on living flesh appears to be quite destructive as subjects caught in its beam appear to be subject to a rapid and violent breakdown of structure on the atomic level, leaving only trace particles to indicate it the subject had been there at all.

There is no discernible source for SCP-XXXX as the beam fades the further it extends into the atmosphere.

Some events have occasionally been found to be accompanied by a localized spike in neutrino particle levels. The increase has been found to begin ten minutes prior to the beginning of an XXXX event, and is usually accompanied by an instance of SCP-XXXX-A appearing.
SCP-XXXX-A subjects have been found to be a diverse cast of living creatures that have existed on the planet in the past and in at least one case the future. [See Invterview-XXXX-A-121]

Addendum: Until we have a better understanding of what it is we’re dealing with, current attempts at direct interaction with the scp are suspended.-0█
