A-1587

**Discovery Date:** July 15, 1971

**Location of Recovery:** Subterranean chamber on Roanoke Island, North Carolina, near the historical site of the Roanoke Colony.

### Description

A-1587 is a stone tablet of basalt, approximately 24 inches in diameter, adorned with intricate carvings that depict a fusion of Algonquian and Elizabethan motifs. Its age, determined through radiocarbon dating, correlates with the era of the Roanoke Colony, adding to its historical and anomalous significance.

### Anomalous Properties

#### Temporal Displacement

A-1587 induces unpredictable temporal displacements within its vicinity, causing nearby objects and living entities to vanish and reappear, sometimes having experienced a lapse in time.

#### Spatial-Temporal Rifts

The artifact appears to create transient rifts in spacetime, evidenced by the displacement of entities to various historical periods.

#### Memory Assimilation

Affected individuals often return with altered memories, aligning with the historical time frame to which they were temporarily displaced.

### Historical Significance

The discovery of A-1587 offers a plausible explanation for the enigmatic disappearance of the Roanoke Colony, suggesting that a temporal anomaly could have played a significant role.

### Containment Procedures

A-1587 is contained in a Faraday cage to mitigate any electromagnetic anomalies it may produce.

The artifact is stored in a reinforced, lead-lined vault to prevent inadvertent exposure to its effects. The vault is equipped with manual locking mechanisms and analog surveillance systems.

A closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera system, using tape-based recording, is employed for continuous monitoring.

Personnel access to A-1587 is restricted to Level 3 clearance staff with training in handling temporal artifacts.

## Detailed Test Notes

### **Test 01** - Analysis of Temporal Displacement Effects

**Date:** August 28, 1971

**Lead Researcher:** Dr. Raymond Clarke

#### Procedure

A series of tests using inanimate objects and mechanical sensors were conducted to ascertain the range and behavior of A-1587's displacement effects. Observations were recorded using analog devices and high-speed film cameras.

#### Observations

Objects within an estimated 6-meter radius exhibited temporal displacement, with some showing signs of aging or environmental exposure upon reappearing.

#### Conclusion

A-1587 possesses a potent temporal displacement field, which appears to affect a radius of approximately 6 meters. The artifact's influence on spacetime is erratic and poses significant containment challenges.

### **Test 02** - Study of Human Temporal Displacement and Memory Alteration

**Date:** October 3, 1971

**Lead Researcher:** Dr. Laura Bennett

#### Procedure

Test subjects, equipped with biometric monitoring devices, were briefly exposed to A-1587. Pre- and post-exposure psychological assessments were conducted, focusing on memory and cognitive changes.

#### Observations

Subjects reported experiences suggestive of time displacement, with several describing vivid interactions in historical settings. Psychological evaluations indicated memory alterations consistent with these experiences.

#### Conclusion

A-1587's effects on human subjects extend beyond physical displacement, inducing substantial alterations in memory. This memory assimilation is hypothesized to result from psychic imprints during temporal displacement.

### **Test 03** - Correlation of Displaced Memories with Historical Records

**Date:** November 15, 1971

**Lead Researcher:** Dr. Ethan Myers

#### Procedure

Detailed interrogation of subjects' post-exposure memories was conducted, with a team of historians cross-referencing these accounts against historical records from various time periods.

#### Observations

The subjects' recollections often corresponded with historical events, particularly those from the late 16th and early 17th centuries, including detailed narratives consistent with the Roanoke Colony's timeline.

#### Conclusion

The memory imprints induced by A-1587 are not random but intricately linked to its origin period. The specificity and historical accuracy of these imprints lend credence to the theory that A-1587 played a role in a mass temporal displacement event, potentially explaining the Roanoke Colony's mysterious disappearance.
