About
The Wyoming Incident is a video and creepypasta story about a hijacked television broadcast displaying a compilation of disturbing imagery and text. In the story, the video is compared to the Max Headroom broadcast signal intrusion which occurred in late November 1987 in Chicago, Illinois.


Origin
Sometime prior to late January 2007, a series of videos began circulating online along with a creepypasta story about a fictional television broadcast hijacking that occurred in the area of Niobrara county in Wyoming, Nebraska. According to the Something Awful Wiki, the story was a prank and alternate reality game orchestrated by Something Awful goons Senor Bambos and The Detector.[4]


Spread
On January 25th, 2007, Snopes[5] Forums user DarkDan submitted the story in a thread titled "Wyoming TV Hijack." On February 5th, YouTuber GiveMeANumber uploaded a video titled "Weird Video I Found," showing black-and-white slides of text and disembodied 3D heads (shown below). On February 21st, video clips and links to the story were posted on the Unfiction Forums.[2] Two days later, the story was submitted in a thread on Something Awful.[3]


On September 10th, YouTuber _ jonrev_ uploaded a video titled "The Wyoming Incident" (shown below). The video starts off with a presidential election speech before the video cuts to static, where it then shows various personal questions on black backgrounds, followed by clips from the original Wyoming Incident videos.


Over the next 10 years, the video accumulated upwards of 2.8 million views. On December 6th, 2010, the creepypasta story about the video was submitted to the Creepypasta Wiki.[1] On May 18th, 2016, YouTuber Night Mind uploaded an episode of the Night Mind Casefiles about the Wyoming Incident story (shown below).

Supposedly it was a hacker action into a Wyoming regional TV in the 1980s, and that a man found this recorded on VHS in the box his late brother left behind.

The consensus reached is that it is an alternate reality game.
