That’s cool.
When I was an intelligence analyst in the military I witnessed the President of the United States ignore the entire intelligence community when they indicated to him that there was no evidence linking Saddam Hussein to the September 11 attacks and there was no evidence of any weapons of mass destruction programs in Iraq.
Then I saw that same administration fabricate intelligence indicating the contrary
Then I saw that same administration blame faulty intelligence when no WMDs were found, blaming the entire intelligence community in the process
They somehow managed to ruin the entire IC’s credibility when they were right to begin with
That was pretty unbelievable
When I was an American I witnessed an obvious Russian agent get elected… twice, and destroy the standing of the US completely.
It is also unbelievable that the hundreds of thousands of dead in a war built on a lie in Iraq pales in comparison to the millions around the world that will die because of Trump’s cuts to USAID alone
Trump can kill off millions without even starting a war on false pretenses
Like his own personal global Holodomor
Again.
Hey can kill millions again. This will be the second time he has caused the death of millions.
Item #: SCP-4974
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-4974 is currently adrift in the Pacific Ocean, approximately 1,300 km southwest of Hawaii. Due to its unpredictable movements and the absence of propulsion, satellite surveillance via Orbital Tracking Array Delta-12 is to remain active at all times. No direct approach is to be made without O5 clearance. Naval units encountering SCP-4974 are to maintain a distance of no less than 5 km and report visual contact immediately.
Any civilian reports regarding a “floating house” are to be intercepted and discredited via standard disinformation protocols (“maritime hallucination” narrative).
Description:
SCP-4974 is a single-story manufactured home of unknown origin, structurally consistent with prefabricated housing models from the early 2000s. SCP-4974 is capable of sustained buoyancy and locomotion without any observable propulsion system. It does not appear to be affected by ocean currents or prevailing winds and exhibits irregular movement patterns across the Pacific Ocean.
Interior scans reveal standard furniture placement, though all appliances appear to be non-functional and lack any power source. Despite this, observers at a distance of over 1 km report seeing lights flickering on and off within SCP-4974 and silhouettes of humanoid figures in the windows. Upon closer inspection (within 100 meters), the interior appears completely vacant, and the anomalous lights cease.
Notable Incident:
On ██/██/20██, a U.S. Navy vessel encountered SCP-4974 during a routine patrol. Initial reports classified it as debris. Upon visual inspection, crew reported observing movement within the structure. Due to the lack of any threat response and confusion about jurisdiction, the structure was left uninvestigated. Foundation agents embedded within the Navy intercepted the incident logs and began tracking SCP-4974.
Addendum 4974-A:
Excerpt from crew debrief:
“Looked like a house, just… floating there. No engine, no sails. Lights would flicker, but there wasn’t a sound. Like the ocean didn’t touch it. One of the guys swore he saw someone watching us from the window. But when we circled back, it was dark. Empty. Like it had always been.”
Hypothesis:
Some researchers theorize SCP-4974 may be a spatial or dimensional anchor, phasing intermittently between multiple states of occupancy. Its purpose, if any, remains unknown.
You fooled me into thinking this post was just a hidden 4974 reference. Really cool write up, I didn’t question it being an actually existing article until reading the replies.
Beautiful! I love SCPs that are just some weird, vaguely threatening, but otherwise unaggressive bit of mystery. Too many authors try to make every scp a barely contained keter-class global threat.
It is such a horrifying entity that even digitally compressed rasterized photographs cause any intelligent being to perceive SCP-4974 as a house. Efforts to split up raw photographs through automated computer scripts in order to analyze piecemeal portions of the image still yield portions of images of a house, indicating even incomplete digital copies themselves may be intelligent. So far, the only proof that SCP-4974 is not in fact a house is its persistence through storms and water damage that should have destroyed it long ago.
This is really good!
Btw, SCP-4974 is actually Pikachu. SCP wiki link
That is so funny, I thought about checking if they got up that high. It’s been awhile since I’ve read some of them haha
This sounds like the start of a SCP file
Just have to add that from a distance they had noticed lights coming off and on and what seemed to be figures in the windows, but when they got a closer look it was totally empty.
Before they got close enough to see what it was, the navigator was transcribing the flickering of the porch light as morse code…
In the time that we had visual contact he was able to decipher several sentences: “I tried to catch some fog, but I mist.”
“Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana”
“Hello hungry, I am”Visual contact was lost before the final message was complete.
The most unbelievable thing about this is the US military refraining from shooting the fuck out of something that wasn’t a threat.
$3000 a month per room, excluding bills.
The most unbelievable thing about this story is that the US military saw something that wasn’t a threat and left it alone
Why? They aren’t cops!
reminded me of this gem
