Containment Protocols: Members of MST India-2 "Detour of Duty" are stationed at both ends of RPC-604's habitat during hours in which RPC-604 is known to be active. In the event RPC-604 is spotted, India-2 is to pursue and subdue it through any means available. If captured, RPC-604 is to be brought to Site-024 for study.
Due to the possibility of RPC-604 being a manifestation inherent to U.S. Route 275, negotiations with the Nebraska Department of Transportation concerning the construction of an alternate route are scheduled to occur on 7/26/2019.
Description: RPC-604 is a 2.5 meter tall sexless humanoid possessing light brown pigmentation across its body. It lacks any facial features beyond a large mouth and brown, shoulder-length hair.
RPC-604 has been spotted along U.S. Route 275 on Fridays and Saturdays between the hours of 9:00 PM and 2:00 AM. In all sightings, it has displayed a consistent pattern of behavior consisting of leaping onto passing cars and riding them along the highway. Those who have encountered RPC-604 describe its vocalizations as akin to "high pitched screaming" or laughter.
Failing to maintain a sufficient speed will result in aggression from RPC-604. When provoked, it may:
-Strike the top or sides of the vehicle.
-Smash windows.
-Beat its head against the front windshield.
-Open doors.
-Forcefully remove passengers, but not the driver.
If the vehicle RPC-604 is riding comes to a stop, [DATA EXPUNGED]. RPC-604 has never left the bounds of Route 275, consistently abandoning its current vehicle at either the merge into Route 20 or the intersection with Route 32. All attempts to follow RPC-604 after it leaves the road have failed. The purpose of RPC-604's behavior is currently unknown.
Addendum 604-1: On 5/23/2019, RPC-604 reportedly appeared along Route 275. Since then, its appearances have grown increasingly irregular. RPC-604 no longer adheres to its weekly or nightly schedule, reportedly appearing in the mid-afternoon on 5/29 and being completely absent from 6/8 to 6/12.
In light of these developments, Route 275 has been closed to all traffic under the guise of road maintenance and repair. MST India-2 will continuously patrol the area in squads of 4 vehicles: one unarmed "decoy" car to attract RPC-604, with 3 units following for the purposes of subduing the object.
Addendum 604-2:
Interviewed: Del █████████, Member of India-2
Interviewer: Agent H███████
Foreword: An account of RPC-604's acquisition. Other interviews were conducted with the different members of India-2, they can be found in Document 604-2.
Sections of this interview have been redacted for brevity.

Del: So, obviously, the whole ordeal starts when Keller calls me on the radio and says the thing's on top of his car. I checkup with the other drivers, make sure they all heard it, then we start speeding up to catch up with him. It was all pretty routine. This wasn't the first time we lured it out, but it kept bailing out. I still think we should've stuck with the old plan, but hey. 'Secrecy' and all that.
H███████: Please, try to stay on topic.
Del: Right, sorry. Anyway, we catch up to the decoy in a minute or so. Sure enough, six oh four's there throwing a tantrum. So, we started shooting it.
H███████: And then 604 retaliated?
Del: Yeah, it tore some stuff off the car and flung it at us. Mirrors, bumpers, even tossed a door at Trevor.
Del: We were coming up on the end of the highway, and Keller's trying to go as slow as it can but that just makes the thing even angrier, it was completely ballistic. So I speed up to get closer.
Del: Then it jumps off the decoy and onto my car. Or, it tries to. It hits the front bumper instead and, well…
Del: This thing was a bitch to find, but it wasn't all that resilient. It slams into the front of the car, rolls under both sets of tires, and it's dead. Just laying there, sprawled out on the road. I stopped the car and we got out to look at it.
H███████: And that's when RPC-604's true nature became evident?
Del: That's right.
Registered Phenomena Code: 604
Object Class: Neutralized (Previously Gamma-Orange)
Hazard Types: N/A
Containment Protocols: As RPC-604 is no longer anomalous, it has been returned to its family, who has been told that RPC-604 was killed as collateral in an undisclosed incident. Matters of financial compensation have been left to the Stanton Police Department.
Description: RPC-604 is the corpse of Daniel █████, a resident of Stanford born 12/5/2004. Through presently unknown means, RPC-604 was able to assume the form of a 2.5 meter tall humanoid possessing light brown skin and an unusually large mouth in lieu of a face. It is unknown if this property occurred at will, but sightings of RPC-604 adhered to the weekly schedule of a high school student, appearing only on Friday and Saturday nights until May 23rd, the end of the 2018-2019 school year. RPC-604 was terminated on 7/23/2019 during an attempt at containment, upon which it returned to a human form. Following a one-week observation period in which no anomalous effects were observed, RPC-604 was reclassified as Neutralized.
The means by which RPC-604's anomalous effects occurred remain unknown. Searches of RPC-604's residence produced multiple drawings resembling the anomaly. However, all were dated to after RPC-604's earliest known appearance on April 27th, 2019. Possible connections to other anomalies contained by the Authority are currently being researched.
Del: It's so stupid. We made a bigger fuss closing down the highway than we did watching both ends of it.
H███████: True, but you also didn't capture the thing for four months.
Del: Heh, yeah. Do you think they're gonna disband India-2 now that the job's done?
H███████: Papa-4 exists, so probably. There will definitely be reassignments.
Del: Shit. I hope I get to work with Trevor again.
H███████: I'll put in a good word for you.
