Foreword: This page is to document anomalous events that have attracted the Foundation's interests, but occurred too briefly for the Foundation to secure or contain them. Instead, the Foundation deploys a cover-up team to conceal the evidence from the public. This is merely a reminder to agents and researchers that not all of them can be contained.
-Agent Carriontrooper
This is the second volume of the log, and remains open to new entries. The first volume has been archived.

Event Description: All Foundation personnel became unable to add any new information to the Foundation's Database of Extranormal Events. Upon attempting to do so, personnel would experience retrocausal elimination wholly and solely affecting their addition of information. After Level 2 Researcher Stewart Clemens attempted this 66 times as personal experimentation, the word "Wikidot" was retrocausally burnt into his computer screen at some point during its creation. Despite this, no paradoxes have resulted from the inability to see crucial information in the local-past after this event occurred.

Event Description: For two hours, at the location of a bottling plant belonging to GoI-████ "The ████-Cola Company", the color red ceased to exist inside the plant. Employees present at the facility report that they felt calm and relaxed for the duration of the event. After two hours had passed, employees report that the color red returned but that it was somehow "more red" than before. When this occurred, employees report having become irritable, and several became violent as a result, with one going so far as to stab another with a concealed knife over a perceived slight. 5 people were injured as a result of this occurrence. One employee, a Mr. ███████ Smith, fled the scene, and claims to have seen "men in beige trench-coats" outside the bottling plant.

After all threats were neutralized, the facility was evacuated, and all employees were amnesticized.
MTF-Psi-7 "Home Improvement" would later demolish the building and contain any effected pieces. Rival GoI "█████Co Inc. " (GoI-████) claims no involvement in the event, instead suggesting that it was perpetrated by a group they referred to as "█████", which is not present in Foundation files.
Further investigation ongoing.
Event Description: It was discovered that all 303 staff that had been initially assigned to the newly constructed Site-27 had the nickname "Reggie"2.

Furthermore, it was discovered that several other facilities, including Area-092, Outpost-19-97, and Site-454 also had abnormally large numbers of staff with similar names. The current hypothesis is that an extranormal memetic pattern had affected the staff in question. As of 6/25/23, it has been confirmed that no administrative staff are currently sufferring from any memetic effect at the present moment, meaning that such an effect was temporary.

Follow-up Actions Taken: Given the low containment status of the missing objects and the overall minimal threat to civilian populations, search operations are presently classified as low priority. Field agents have been allocated the pertinent documentation corresponding to each Anomalous Object (AO) to facilitate prompt identification in the event of an encounter.
Event Description: During a period spanning from 1447 to 1532 hours, shadows cast by on-site personnel were observed to detach from their owners and exhibit independent movement. These detached shadows displayed signs of sentience, engaging in interactions with other shadows via complex movements and gestures, similar to non-verbal communication between animals. Approximately 45 minutes later, the shadows returned to their respective owners, concluding the event.
Date of Occurrence: 2018-02-19
Location of OccFurrence: Site-81.
Follow-up Actions Taken: Due to the event taking place within a secure facility, no follow-up actions are considered necessary.
Event Description: A painting in a museum, featuring a policeman in 19th-century British uniform, suddenly animated and began gesturing and attempting to speak to museum visitors. Despite its best efforts, it was unable to make any sound. After 4 minutes and 30 seconds, it returned to its original position and inanimate state.
Date of Occurrence: 2024-05-15
Location of Occurrence: San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
Follow-up Actions Taken: Museum staff and visitors interviewed and amnesticized. Surveillance videos copied for Foundation investigation; originals deleted. Artist responsible for the painting placed under Foundation investigation for anartist tendencies or connections to known anartists.
Event Description: While doctors were attempting to put a man who had contacted rabies into a medically induced coma, the song "Nil Admirari" by Oneohtrix Point Never emitted from the patient's mouth at a volume of just under 100 decibels for approximately 5 minutes until the patient fell into the medically induced coma; a polaroid photograph of what appears to be a distorted face with the phrase "DESPAIRAGEMPTYELLASH" scribbled on the back manifested under the patient, revealed when the patient was removed from the hospital bed.
Date of Occurrence: 2022-10-14
Location of Occurrence: ██████ ████████ Hospital, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Follow-up Actions Taken: All witnesses were administered amnestics as needed, all surveillance videos were confiscated, the polaroid was confiscated from an employee seen taking it from the hospital bed and was also amnesticized.
Event Description: While driving home from a social outing, Junior Researcher █████ Bates struck and hit a cervine creature, denting the hood and shattering the windshield of her car. The creature then slowly regained its quadrupedal stance, rubbed its head against the vehicle's hood to remove glass from its face, and finally called Bates an "amateur" before fleeing.
Date of Occurrence: 2023-10-25
Location of Occurrence: Road ███, Sasakwa, Oklahoma, USA
Follow-Up Actions Taken: Despite Bates having a BAC of 0.11, her account was confirmed via the vehicle's dashboard camera. Blood taken from the scene was determined to belong to an Odocoileus virginianus5, but no individual match was found in Foundation databases. Bates was placed on unpaid suspension for two weeks for reckless activity and offered amnesticization for the incident, but refused. The deer has not been located.
Event Description: While patient Gao ███████ was awaiting the results of his recent medical tests, four humanoid entities in striped red suits emerged from a nearby supply closet and burst into song. After six minutes of singing about a cryptic secret they were keeping from Gao, the four harmoniously informed him that he had stage II testicular cancer before retreating into the closet.
Date of Occurrence: 2024-06-07
Location of Occurrence: ████ ███████ Hospital, Zhongxi, Ningguo, Xuancheng, Anhui province, China
Follow-Up Actions Taken: One witness amnesticized, relevant camera footage seized. Gao informed of his condition by conventional means shortly after clean-up.
Event Description: For a timeframe of roughly 12 hours and 15 minutes, an unknown amount of giant pink lawn flamingos began roaming around ██████. The pink flamingos are resemblant to plastic flamingos used as lawn decorations made in 1957, with different features such as two legs. The flamingos ranged in height from roughly 90ft to 110ft. The exact amount of flamingos is unknown, but it is speculated that there were about 7-8. Three people died as a result of a car crash caused by one of the flamingos after it had suddenly appeared on the road at ██████ intersection.
Date of Occurrence: 2016-9-26
Location Of Occurrence: ██████ City, New South Wales, Australia.
Follow-Up Actions Taken: Mass Class-A amnesticization of ██████, cover up of three casualties, and free repair to damaged vehicles.
Event Description: All Site-17 personnel received a bloody nose at exactly 02:41 hours from an indiscernible cause. Bleeding did not cease for a total of four (4) minutes and twenty six (26) seconds.
Date of Occurrence: 2010-6-25
Location of Occurrence: Site-17, [DATA EXPUNGED].
Follow-Up Actions Taken: None.
Event Description: A large (approximately 3 meters high) entity resembling a potato with spindly arms and legs manifested at a grocery store and began wandering the aisles as best it could given its size. As it did so, it repeatedly called out as though trying to find some other entity; this is purely speculation, as its words were in an as-yet-unidentified language. After 7 minutes and 35 seconds, the entity abruptly demanifested.
Date of Occurrence: June 30th, 2024
Location of Occurrence: Boise, ID
Follow-Up Actions Taken: As the event occurred when the store was closed, the only witness was a local homeless man, who was asleep at the time, rendering amnestic treatment unnecessary. Security camera videos were copied for Foundation review; the originals were deleted. The store was placed under Foundation surveillance for one year in case of further anomalous incidents. Foundation linguists are in the process of identifying the language used by the entity.
Event Description: For a period of exactly 16 minutes and 23 seconds, every individual cockroach located in the state of South Carolina gained sapience and the ability to vocalize English.
Date of Occurrence: 2024-08-20
Location of Occurrence: South Carolina, USA
Follow-Up Actions Taken: Class A amnestics were deployed via aerosol over the entire state of South Carolina, a cover up story of a hoax implemented, and all footage of the event found on the internet seized.
Event Description: Two humanoid figures were observed engaging in melee combat 20 meters above the ground. Both weapons (a sword and a staff) appeared to be composed of flame. Both combatants abruptly disappeared 5 minutes after manifestation, when both impaled each other.
Date of Occurrence: 1990-11-15
Location of Occurrence: Adelia Maria, Argentina.
Follow-Up Actions Taken: Witnesses amnestized and footage confiscated without incident. Investigation into possible involvement of American writer James Oliver Rigney Jr. provided no results.
Event Description: At approximately 1:59, the number of vehicular accidents recorded in both Maryland and New Jersey swapped, as did their current rate of vehicular accidents and fatalities. Additionally, all references of dangerous driving in one state now references the other, and all references to "Jersey Drivers" have been replaced by "Maryland Drivers" in conversation. This has also affected all media on the matter, changing footage and speech to match this alteration.
Date of Occurrence: 1995-09-04
Location of Occurrence: Worldwide, primarily affecting New Jersey and Maryland, USA
Follow-Up Actions Taken: All documents and footage that no longer make any sense following the swap have been erased or altered. Foundation personnel in the media regularly reinforce the attribution of this perceived change to the Mandela Effect.
Event Description: At 3:22, all staff that have ever been reported missing at Site-322 spontaneously reappeared at the Site entrance with pink collars around their necks, each labeled with their name. This included staff that were later found dead, but any that were found alive exhibited no known anomalous effects during this event. Simultaneously, all documentation regarding their disappearances were expunged by [EXPUNGED].
Date of Occurrence: 2024-10-26
Location of Occurrence: Site-322
Follow-Up Actions Taken: Affected individuals observed to have no anomalous properties and no memory of their disappearances, and are being held in humanoid containment at Site-322. Requests from affected individuals to resume work are awaiting approval.
Event Description: Three Bic-brand ballpoint pens in Dr. ███████'s Office spilled ~5 gallons of ink before animating, with sections of their cases forming into rudimentary arms and legs. They then attempted to attack Dr. ███████ via throwing small objects at him for ten minutes before their limbs snapped back into place and they became inert. When questioned, he admitted to having broken a ballpoint pen a week prior to the incident in a fit of anger.
Date of Occurrence: 2024-09-27
Location of Occurrence: Dr. ███████'s Office, Site-██
Follow-Up Actions Taken: Dr. ███████ has been required to take an on-site anger management course. Related security footage archived for Foundation investigation.
Event Description: At 8:12, 9:45, 10:37, 11:52, 13:13, 14:20, 16:08, and 17:49, every person on Earth blinked at exactly the same time, with their blinks all lasting the exact same amount of time. During each of these simultaneous blinks, time skipped forward a cumulative 10 milliseconds, with the last instance lasting 80 milliseconds. Footage of the event shows that, whenever such a blink occurred, everyone on Earth froze in place while everything around them continued to move as normal. This led to approximately five thousand two hundred eighty-seven (5,287) accidents worldwide.
Date of Occurrence: 10-27-2024
Location of Occurrence: Worldwide
Follow-Up Actions Taken: All footage of the event is being scrubbed, though the effort is taking several days. Witnesses that saw the unaltered footage are being administered Class A amnestics. Worldwide instance of gaps in security footage is under the cover story of a major cybersecurity incident.
Event Description: Three human cadavers in various stages of decay manifested in the Site-17 Cafeteria holding a plastic bowl of various candy bars. Subjects remained still for several minutes before one of the entities animated and exclaimed that they had arrived late for “the Halloween special”. The three entities demanifested seconds later, though the bowl of candy remained.
Date of Occurrence: 11-04-2024
Location of Occurrence: Site-17 Cafeteria
Follow-Up Actions Taken: Candy and bowl inspected for anomalous properties. When deemed nonanomalous, candy was distributed among Site-17’s staff and contained anomalies.
Event Description: The air in a 250m radius was filled with a dew composed of liquid lard, and an approximately 30cm bipedal creature made of sour cream manifested from a trash can. Shortly afterwards, six (6) more creatures of the same height also manifested from the same trash can, made of shredded lettuce, guacamole, pico de gallo, nacho cheese, refried beans, and tortilla chips, respectively. All seven (7) figures began attempting to destroy all Mexican-American themed items being sold in the area, as well as the nearby T███ B███. No one was injured, as the anomalous creatures lacked the strength required to defend themselves. The anomaly was unknowingly neutralized by three (3) police officers using their handguns.
Date of Occurrence: 11-05-2024
Location of Occurrence: Elkton, Maryland, United States
Follow-Up Actions Taken: Witnesses administered Class A amnestics. Ammunition from discharged weapons replaced to prevent discrepancies, and cleanup crews dispatched to the area. Area temporarily closed off for cleanup, under the cover story of a mentally unstable individual discharging their weapon in public.
Event Description: All containers of cottage cheese in the building underwent anomalous transformation, with the containers themselves forming tiny plastic cottages while the curds became maggots. Simultaneously, an announcement was heard over the loudspeaker, which said "Attention all employees! Please make your whey to the dairy department!" All employees of the store present in the building, excluding the store owner, then proceeded to drop onto their bellies and squirm to the dairy section before devouring as many maggots as they could.
Date of Occurrence: 11-09-2024
Location of Occurrence: T█████, Aberdeen, Maryland, United States
Follow-Up Actions Taken: Class A amnestics dispersed via ventilation systems. Remaining cottage cheese and plastic cottages were taken for containment, but ceased to be anomalous in transit, and are currently held in refrigerated storage. Employees resumed regular behavior after being amnesticized. Missing cottage cheese attributed to a recall. The voice on the intercom is pending identification, but has been confirmed to not be any store employee.
Event Description: All personal beverage containers within the legal borders of Site-27-A, along with their contained liquids and any paraphernalia used for them, suddenly dematerialized between the times of 0730 and 0732. By coincidence, all personal beverage containers on-site were outside the line of sight of personnel and security cameras. Two weeks after this event, all displaced beverage containers suddenly reappeared in the office of Marine Anomalies Department head of Site-27, Dr. Lawrence M. during routine maintenance of the security camera of Dr. Lawrence M.'s office.
Date of Occurrence: December 2, 2024
Location of Occurrence: Site-27-A, [REDACTED]
Follow-Up Actions Taken: All displaced personal beverage containers have been replaced by the Foundation, and were later returned to their owners following their reappearance.
Event Description At 21:46 a barrage of three thousand twenty-meter tungsten rods entered Earth's atmosphere and converged upon the city of Harafax, obliterating all organic and non-organic matter in a 5,490.35 km2 radius. In the following five minutes after the orbital bombardment, SCP-████ was discovered in the bottom of the crater left by the rods, and was contained. Approximately 30 minutes after the event, the city of Halifax spontaneously manifested in the crater where Harafax stood. All records of Harafax were found to have never existed and were replaced with Halifax in its entirety. The only record of this event was a report from Lunar Foundation Exclusion Site-███, which apparently resided at the location of the Aitken basin.
Date of Occurrence January 12, 2025
Location of Occurrence Halifax, Nova Scotia
Follow-up Actions Taken Considering that the city of Harafax and Lunar Exclusion Site-███ have never existed, no actions are currently being taken.
Event Description: A man spontaneously gained knowledge on the construction of a Class-IV psychoreceptor using only materials found in his garage. Being an engineer who enjoyed building various creations, he then produced a working model, which was then used to briefly communicate with [REDACTED].
Date of Occurrence: 2001/03/09
Location: Blaine, Minnesota
Follow-Up Actions Taken: The man was amnesticized and his construction was confiscated for study. Techniques used in its construction have been used in the improvement of psychoreceptive equipment used by the Foundation.
Event Description: Immediately following him uploading his video “Why Die?” to his YouTube channel, ████ ████████, better known by his viewers as “CGP Grey”, disappeared from reality, before reappearing 5 hours later in the exact place he left.
Date of Occurrence: October 20th, 2017
Location of Occurrence: [DATA EXPUNGED], London, England, UK.
Follow-Up Actions Taken: An interview was conducted with the content creator, who claimed he had been taken to an “angelic courtroom” where an entity he described as a “biblically accurate angel” acted as a judge and said he was on trial for “…slandering the good name of Death for merely existing.” The creator claimed that he was thrown into rehab6 for three months, despite much less time passing in this reality. The content creator claimed the judge entity had convinced him that Death was in fact necessary, and that misery can indeed bring happiness, because without the former humanity would lose its sanity, and without the latter there would be no true happiness. Subject was given Class A Amnestics before being released, as of ██/██/████, the subject has returned to its strong stance against death itself.
Event Description: All discarded receipts in the affected areas that had not been recycled began to animate, forming into congealed masses of paper and waste anywhere from ~50 centimeters to 2 meters tall. These masses rolled their forms to ram into visitors aggressively, using the centrifugal force to sling several sharp objects off of their bodies to attack. When these balls were successfully halted, intentionally or otherwise, they collapsed into a non-anomalous pile of garbage. At one location in Maryland, where the mass lasted the longest without being stopped, some witnesses reported appendages starting to grow from the mass.
Date of Occurrence: 04/25/2025
Location of Occurrence: 18 travel centers located within the Maryland and New York area, United States. Exact locations can be found in Incident Report EE-████-01
Follow-Up Actions Taken: All witnesses administered Class-A amnestics. Affected areas shut down for investigation under the cover story of regulatory non-compliance. Affected waste has been moved to separate low-value storage units at Site-19 to observe for potential continuation of anomalous activity. So far, no more anomalous activity has occurred involving either the affected areas or the trash, and the affected areas have been reopened to the public.
Event Description: A middle-aged man working on his shift as cashier at a Popeyes restaurant in the area was stretching his hands and arms. After putting his hand on the cash register in a clawed position, with his arm held out directly in front of him and his elbow bent at an exact 45⁰ angle, a blast erupted from his hand, killing everyone in the building instantly but doing no substantial damage to objects or structures. There were no signs that he had any idea what he was doing, and tests concluded that the exact position he had his body in was the cause for the blast, as the explosion was replicated in testing.
Date of Occurrence: 04/08/2024
Location of Occurrence: Accident, Maryland, United States
Follow-Up Actions Taken: Investigation is underway to determine the source of the anomalous gesture, or more concisely, how the blast is created by it. All witnesses that reviewed the footage were amnestitized, and a cover story regarding a gas leak was released to the press. Since the start of investigations, one more anomalous gesture with the exact same effect has been discovered, but there are no leads on the source. The only connection is that both gestures send a burning sensation through the hand shortly before making the exact gesture and triggering the explosion.
Event Description: Around 3:00, riders near the sleeper car of an Amtrak train passing through the area reported extremely loud sobbing from an unoccupied room. When security investigated, they found an extremely slender male figure being choked by a glowing blue humanoid entity made of the male's own tears. This did not respond, lifting the male into the air and passing through the roof of the car with him. He was seemingly unaffected by passing through the roof, and the entity flew above the train to the very back, where it turned into a train engine still made of human tears. Radio communications revealed the train engine controlled itself and had all standard features needed for a modern train. Male figure was later found to not match any known individual in the world, going by Halso Moriai.
Date of Occurrence: 05/08/2025
Location of Occurrence: Washington D.C., United States
Follow-Up Actions Taken: Attempts to stop the anomalous train were successful. Witnesses interviewed and amnesticized. Surveillance footage of the event seized. Mr. Moriai was taken into Foundation custody, with further attempts made to find information about him proving fruitless.
Event Description: Beginning at 14:37 and ending at 19:23, a video began circulating across all social media platforms, even ones that aren't major and/or are only accessible by organizations. This video depicts a containment breach of SCP-[DATA EXPUNGED] within what appears to be New York City, New York, along with the terrified reactions of several onlookers spontaneously combusting. No containment breaches of SCP-[DATA EXPUNGED] have ever been reported in Foundation history, so computer generated imaging or temporal distortion is suspected. The video is laced with what is assumed to be a memetic agent not detectable by Foundation personnel, which appears on screen as the phrase "THEY ARE FAILING TO PROTECT YOU. RAISE YOUR WEAPONS AND PREPARE TO FIGHT THE NEW NORMAL." This agent causes individuals to gain a surface level understanding of SCP-[DATA EXPUNGED] and the Foundation, and makes them believe a containment breach of SCP-[DATA EXPUNGED] is imminent.
Date of Occurrence: 04/29/2025
Location of Occurrence: Worldwide
Follow-Up Actions Taken: Antimemetic agent dispersed across all social media platforms to erase public knowledge of the Foundation. All copies of the video hosted on social media platforms have been deleted through the use of web crawlers, and a copy has been saved to Foundation archives with a second stored in low-value storage. Video source is unknown, but the video appears to have been recorded by a camera or model of phone not available to the public. Metadata of the file states that it was created on May 17th, 2025 at 11:12, but no containment breach of SCP-[DATA EXPUNGED] has occured thus far since the mentioned time and date have passed.
