 Good afternoon. For those who are new, I'm Dr. Theron Sherman. And in today's briefing, we will be discussing SCP-6961. There isn't any objectionable material in this document, so let's begin. Item Number SCP-6961 Object Class Phenomenon Special Containment Procedures Standard-class amnestics are to be administered to civilian individuals who have witnessed SCP-6961. Any video and or audio evidence correlating to SCP-6961 are to be tracked down and deleted by Foundation web crawler eggshaft.aic. Description SCP-6961 is the designation given to an anomalous event that spontaneously occurred on the 5th of May, 2018, where a large-winged humanoid entity suddenly manifested approximately 200 meters atop Vatican City in Rome, Italy. During this event, the entity, hereafter known as SCP-6961-A, vocalized loudly in English to the individuals below for several seconds, before entirely de-manifesting from the Vatican. The following is footage of the event, initially recorded via a civilian's phone. Begin log! The cameras pointed upwards towards the sky, taking in several of the city's domed structures and carved architectures. A sudden bright light obscures the lenses of the camera, and the recorder of the footage stumbles a bit. When the lights subside, SCP-6961-A can be seen floating in the sky, with its head bowed in a gesture of supplication. The entity raises its head to face the individuals below, and begins to vocalize. Crucial message from your lord! SCP-6961-A manifests a roll of parchment in its right hand and unfurls it. Jesus! Please get it right next time! That concludes the lord's crucial message! May his wise words guide you to the rightful path! The parchment disappears. SCP-6961-A bows down to a nearby cross before de-manifesting itself. End log! The Department of Tactical Theology has been assigned to research the nature of SCP-6961. Thank you for listening.
