Containment Protocols

Under no circumstances is the tape containing IS-0235 to be brought into contact with a video cassette recorder. It must not be played, viewed or displayed. The subject is to be considered contained until further notice.

Audio log

"Hello ... Hmm ... (Click) What about now? Ah! This is Dr. Abe - Abraham - Stern, ah, concerning immurement procedures for IS Two Three Five. While I haven't had a tremendous amount of time with Two Three Five, ... certain phenomena would seem to suggest that our containment procedures are, well, they may be insufficient. The general attitude appears to be that Two Three Five is a harmless curiosity but close examination of the video cassette tape in which it currently abides has revealed small... even exiguous amounts of a substance that concerns me considerably. I performed some preliminary investigations, basic classifications with Dr. Ross But we were unable to determine whether the residue was biological or chemical, or even solid, for that matter. Slightly embarrassing, but for the record, I recommend assigning someone to investigate this ... Ah ... properly ... Reasonably soon ... Oh."

I've completed my analysis of the IS-0235. It appears to subsist on high contrast magnetic recordings. Copying the tape reproduces the entity, but any changes in the original are replicated in the copy. This leads me to believe they are essentially the same entity. In informational terms, they are identical.

What about the previous sightings?

We have no idea how it arrived in that specific Simpsons episode, but it seems to have disappeared from previous locations (e.g. Flintstones Season 2, Episode 32). This leads us to believe that 0235 is the same, continuous entity throughout all sightings.

Fascinating. Have you had any luck getting it to move?

Not so far. It's modes of movement remain uncertain. I've even tried shifting the show to black-and-white, but that just seemed to make it sick. I can't risk damaging such a unique entity.
