SCP-8463 ("The Flesh-Eating Runway") CALLER

SECURE. CONTAIN. PROTECT.Official Foundation Document: SCP-8463Item #: SCP-8463Object Class: KeterSpecial Containment Procedures:The airspace surrounding Sherbro Island (designated Sector 666) is a strict permanent no-fly zone. Satellite masking protocols must continuously project a false image of an overgrown, unusable dirt strip to public mapping services.A perimeter of automated acoustic dampeners must be maintained 50 metres from the runway edge to suppress the anomaly’s audio emissions. Any unauthorized personnel or civilian aircraft attempting to land at the former Sherbro International Airport (BTE) are to be intercepted by Mobile Task Force Theta-9 ("Jungle Hawks") using lethal force if necessary.Description:SCP-8463 refers to an anomalous, unpaved airstrip measuring 3,600 feet in length, located on Sherbro Island, Sierra Leone (Coordinates: 7.5324° N, 12.5189° W). Officially known to locals as the abandoned Sherbro International Airport, the runway surface is not composed of dirt, but rather a compressed, calcified layer of human skeletal remains and dense, organic cellular tissue.The anomaly exhibits a predatory, localized awareness. Whenever an aircraft attempts an approach or landing on the heading of Runway 15/33, the runway surface actively shifts and mimics the appearance of a safe landing zone.Upon touchdown, the "Flesh-Eating Runway" secretes a highly corrosive, bio-acidic sap from the ground. This substance instantly welds the aircraft's tires to the tarmac and melts through fuselage metal within 90 seconds.Once an aircraft is immobilized, the surrounding mangrove vegetation and jungle canopy expand rapidly, enveloping the vehicle. The organic surface of SCP-8463 then undergoes a process of ritualistic consumption, absorbing all biological matter (passengers and crew) into its mass.Addendum 8463.1 - Audio Log Excerpt:The following audio was recovered from the flight recorder of a hijacked cargo plane
