SCP-1050-1 to have proclaimed the message. The existence of 
SCP-1050-2 was discovered when the Russian message, 
apparently proclaimed by Stalin, mysteriously appeared on 
SCP-1050-1 overnight while the obelisk was in a Nazi research lab 
during the Second World War in 1943. SS researchers, discovering 
the mysteriously added new message, reported the development to 
their superiors, but no evidence for the origin of the new carving was 
ever determined by the Nazi research team. SCP-1050-2a, a 
version of the message written in Stalin’s handwriting, was 
discovered after the war by Foundation operatives. It was located in 
the archives of the Soviet People's Ministry of Internal Affairs 
(NKVD), though there is no clear indication whether Stalin ever 
actually wrote the message. SCP-1050-2b, a handwritten version of 
the message apparently written by Queen Victoria, was recovered 
from British archives in 195 , where it had apparently been filed 
without notice. Apart from the fact that both -2a and -2b match 
handwriting samples of their respective apparent authors and both 
seem to have appeared without explanation, no anomalous 
properties have ever been noted in SCP-1050-2. No further 
instances of SCP-1050-2 have been uncovered to date. 


SCP-1050-3 

SCP-1050-3 consists of a series of radio messages uncovered at 
different times by radio telescopes on four continents and in orbit. 
These messages consist of the following:

The numbers have been determined to be base-8 (Octal) 
representations of the forty base-10 (Decimal) integers in the obelisk 
message, preceded by another sixty integers following a similar 
pattern. It is hypothesized that these numbers may refer to 
additional events not documented in Earth’s paleogeological history. 
The “Proto-Latin” message translates, roughly, to “Beware the 
Destroyers.” SCP-1050-1 emits SCP-1050-3 from its apex. 
SCP-1050-3 has also been received from other directions in 
space, including [DATA EXPUNGED]. These are received as 
occasional pulses of 1-3 repetitions of the SCP-1050-3 message, 
suggesting similar directional broadcasts to those emanating from 
SCP-1050-1 being transmitted from rotating planets orbiting other 
stars. 


Addendum 1: Speculations by the SCP-1050 Research Team, 19 . 


SCP-1050 appears to be parts of an interstellar “early warning” 
system of unknown origin. Before the invention of more modern 
forms of rapid communication, some societies would light bonfires 


atop watchtowers, which would then be observed by the next 
watchtower, which would then light its own bonfire, and so on. By 
this method, a warning of an invading army could be passed along 
tens or hundreds of miles in hours, rather than days. It seems to the 
research team that SCP-1050 may be something similar, which 
would explain the signal we’ve designated SCP-1050-3. Similarly, by 
having the message written on the obelisk in dozens of languages, 
and apparently proclaimed by major political rulers of the time, it 
would increase the likelihood of societies being forewarned about 
these “Destroyers”, whomever or whatever they may be. 
SCP-1050-2 might be a means of spurring the governments of major 
political powers to action, though, due to the fact that this warning 
has not been visibly taken seriously or even publically 
acknowledged suggests that this has not occurred historically. While 
it may be attractive to assume such defensive measures as 
Hadrian’s Wall or military buildups by the Nazis were due to 
preparing to meet some shadowy preternatural threat, no other 
historical evidence supports this conclusion. 


Addendum 2: Note on containment procedures. 


Since the Foundation came into possession of SCP-1050-1 in 194 , 
O5 Command has twice amended the Special Containment 
Procedures, initially requiring the blocking of radio signals (194 ), 
then requiring that radio signals not be blocked (196 ), then requiring 
that they be blocked (198 ). These changes have resulted not from 
alterations in SCP-1050-1, but rather from changes in the perceived 
threat posed by SCP-1050-1’s radio transmissions. 


The rationale behind blocking SCP-1050-1’s broadcast of 
SCP-1050-3 is that it decreases the likelihood of drawing attention to 
Earth, by removing this planet from the theorized “early warning 
network”. The rationale behind not blocking the signal is that, if the 
theories about the possibility of future extinction events being 
caused by the mentioned “Destroyers” are correct, then this planet 
has some degree of obligation to warn other planets in danger. At 
present, the risks of broadcasting the signal are believed to 
outweigh the benefits.

SCP-1051: Nevadan Extraterrestrial 


Item #: SCP-1051 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to SCP-1051's main 
danger being information leakage, efforts towards containment have 
been placed into denial or falsification of rumors surrounding its 
existence. Agents are to be reminded that any reference towards 
SCP-1051 or similar concepts during interaction with a civilian, 
whether online or offline, are to be met with ridicule and/or denial. 
Knowledge beyond current cultural information may require the 
application of a Class-A amnestic. 


SCP-1051 is to be patrolled by no less than twenty (20) personnel 
dressed in uniforms superficially resembling that of the United 
States Air Force, in a two (2) km radius surrounding SCP-1051. 
Intruders into this radius are to be shot. Personnel are reminded to 
not injure intruders, but only shoot a sufficient amount to repel them. 
Repeated attempts at entry or entry beyond a one (1) km radius will 
result in the application of a Class-A amnestic. 


Satellites orbiting over or near SCP-1051 are to have their 
transmissions monitored for suspected interference. Any antennae 
discovered in a 10 km radius around SCP-1051 with no known 
purpose are to be either destroyed or surrounded by a Faraday 
cage. 


Description: SCP-1051 is a large, immobile organism presumably 
extra-terrestrial in origin. Its "shell" measures approximately 700 
meters by 500 meters by 60 meters. SCP-1051 is an ambush 
predator in nature, and lures its prey using a variety of sociological 
and psychological manipulation. 


SCP-1051 has a shell that mimics large structures. For the past 
years, SCP-1051 has remained in appearance to an aircraft hangar. 


SCP-1051 will periodically produce and launch "eggs" (see above) 
from itself. They are elliptical in design but are flattened at the 
bottom to make a domed shape. This is presumably for ease of 
travel through terrestrial atmospheres. Currently out of "eggs" 
have successfully been reclaimed by Foundation personnel. Eggs 
not intercepted by Foundation personnel have been ejected out of 
Earth's atmosphere and are irretrievable. 


SCP-1051 will frequently attempt to connect with orbiting satellites in 
order to send television signals, images, or a variety of other media 
forms. SCP-1051 currently has a 2 % success rate in connection. 
SCP-1051 may also transmit radio signals or connect to telephone 
lines. 


SCP-1051 arrived on Earth in 194 in an "egg". It was originally 
discovered by the United States Air Force, which transported it to 

, Nevada. SCP-1051 did not come into Foundation attention 
until 195 , following a distress signal by Air Force personnel 
stationed at 


Addendum 1051-1: Anatomy of SCP-1051: 


1. Mouth of SCP-1051. Doors to SCP-1051 shut and prey is pushed 
deeper into SCP-1051's body. 

2. Gizzard of SCP-1051. Grinds prey into fine paste before 
digesting. 

3. Stomach of SCP-1051. Digests prey into nutrients and waste 
products. 

4. Sphincter and waste tube of SCP-1051. Nutrients are sent to 
point 5 while waste product is released through southern cavity. 

5. Brain of SCP-1051. 

6. Distributing organ of SCP-1051. Note that this organ extends 
several different antennae and wires underground, allowing it to 
connect to various phone lines, emit radio transmissions, and 
connect to satellites. Foundation personnel have only been able to 
discover ofthe presumed antennae SCP-1051 utilizes above 
ground. 

7. Presumed to be tongue of SCP-1051. Analysis of this paved area 
has shown fine indentations in the concrete, suggesting that 
SCP-1051 may have taste buds. / /19 : This was confirmed after 
SCP-1051 retracted it momentarily following a chemical spill, giving 


the appearance of a disappearing air-strip. 


Addendum 1051-2: Transmissions Successfully Distributed by 
SCP-1051: 


Repeated uploading of various false information to various 
"Conspiracy" websites, including: 


Information of various spacecraft being reverse-engineered 
inside itself. 


Various "Men in Black" theories of extra-terrestrial contact. 


Its use as testing for the following items: Exotic energy 
weapons, weather controlling devices, time and teleportation 
machines, and impossible propulsion systems 


Various messages in radio and television transmissions 
regarding its use by a "shadow government" [NOTE: This is 
considered a high-level information leak. Class-A amnestics 
are authorized for use dependent on the level of classified 
information.] 


Calls to several production studios in California. 


Dozens of calls, faxes, and Emails to the National Enquirer 
officesin . National Enquirer offices have been monitored 
by Foundation personnel since 198 . 


Masked orders to officially reveal its existence, sent to U.S. 
Military Intelligence. 


Addendum 1051-3: 


Interview 1051-1 
Interviewed: SCP-1051 
Interviewer: Dr. Richardson 


Foreword: A small radio apparatus was set up 
nearby SCP-1051's distributing organ in an 


attempt to communicate with it. Agents found 
SCP-1051's distributing frequency at the time 
after 2 hours of scanning. 


<Commence Log> 


Dr. Richardson: Hello? 1051, can you hear 
me? 


SCP-1051: Give. 

Dr. Richardson: Pardon? 

SCP-1051: Give. 

Dr. Richardson: Give what? 
SCP-1051: Want feed. 

Dr. Richardson: You don't get any food. 


SCP-1051: Area-51 is currently being 
controlled by the SCP Foundation, a shadow 
government organization that has designated it 
SCP-1051. Here are a few names of the 
operatives-
