I've been advised by Mew to cut down the O5 Proposal a bit, so I should do that. Also they suggested changing the message a bit to make it seem more like this was sport, just to make it more clear.

Make it "Try as you might, young game, a true Hunter has never missed a shot. A true Hunter is not distracted, regardless of Her quarry's tiresome charades."

Name: You've Been Thunderstruck OR Bolt from the Blue

Special Containment Procedures: Due to its nature, conventional containment of SCP-XXXX is currently infeasible.

Foundation agents embedded within prominent fields of meteorology are to actively suppress knowledge of SCP-XXXX, and are to regard it as a hoax. Individuals who present evidence of SCP-XXXX are to have their works discredited and confiscated. Reports of cadavers that match SCP-XXXX's method of execution are to have their deaths attributed to non-anomalous electrocution. Foundation produced awareness campaigns encouraging the engagement of outdoor activities in a group are to be distributed worldwide, under the guise of average safety campaigns.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an irregular meteorological phenomenon defined by the anomalous manifestation of lightning. Unlike non-anomalous lightning strikes, SCP-XXXX will manifest as luminescent spheres of electrostatic energy (designated SCP-XXXX-1), roughly 25 centimeters in diameter. While they travel at a high rate of speed, SCP-XXXX-1 are significantly slower than non-anomalous lightning, averaging a speed of 2,970 kph.

SCP-XXXX is not dependent on prior weather conditions. SCP-XXXX is always initiated by the sudden apparition of a large dark cloud, from which will emerge SCP-XXXX-1. While appearing similar to a non-anomalous storm cloud, chemical analysis of this cloud has found it to be composed of mainly sulfur, charcoal, and saltpeter. This emergence is then followed by a clap of thunder, upon which the the cloud will vanish.

Once manifested, SCP-XXXX-1 will seek to impact a living human being. This is achieved by traveling directly towards the target, and striking them while unawares. Impacts by SCP-XXXX are invariably fatal, with the universal cause of death being non-anomalous electrocution. The area around the corpses are often found in almost pristine condition, with no cases of lightning fire resulting from SCP-XXXX having ever been recorded. Following an SCP-XXXX-1 strike, Foundation personnel have noted a slight increase in ambient Akiva radiation, although this amount is often negligible from baseline levels.

As of the time of documentation, no instance of SCP-XXXX-1 has ever failed to impact a human being.

History: SCP-XXXX was initially discovered during a routine scan of the WHO Mortality Database by O/S-ROY which highlighted a notable trend among victims of lightning strikes. From the earliest available data, a majority of all recorded lightning strike fatalities have occurred outside of weather conducive to lightning. Furthermore, all of these fatalities have been discovered long after their occurrence, with cadavers being found several days after the fact. It is currently believed that SCP-XXXX currently accounts for over 85% of all recorded lightning fatalities worldwide. It is unknown whether this prevalence is due to the inherent low-likelihood of lightning striking a human being or an intentional suppression of non-anomalous lightning strikes by SCP-XXXX.

Addendum.XXXX.1: On 04/23/1998, the following proposal was submitted for viewing by the O5 Council in regards to a possible reevaluation and revision of SCP-XXXX's containment procedures.

Incident Report #4472.IV: During the intervening time between Protocol XXXX-IV's approval and initial implementation, Foundation webcrawlers reported a spike in SCP-XXXX-1 manifestations, noting two low-level Foundation personnel among the recent victims. Personnel assigned to the recovery of SCP-XXXX-1 victims also reported distinct symbols formed by Lichtenberg figures1 found on the cadavers. After several attempts to identify the symbols, Foundation paratheologians recognized the markings as Enochian lettering. A translation of these markings has been provided below.

Following this, all contact with personnel present at the conductor sites was suddenly lost. An ensuing investigation by MTF-Sigma-19 ("Park Rangers") discovered the sites in ruins, with a majority of the personnel present either deceased or missing. Cadavers were found with severe burns on their cranial and thoracic regions, consistent with those experienced during high-voltage electrocutions. Further examination shows that, in all cases, damage to all of the cadaver's necks and skulls are consistent with a high-speed impact to the frontal bone.

As of 04/23/2020, Protocol XXXX-IV has been abandoned indefinitely.
