On September 10th, YouTuber _ jonrev_ uploaded a video titled "The Wyoming Incident" (shown below). Two days later, the story was submitted in a thread on Something Awful. On February 21st, video clips and links to the story were posted on the Unfiction Forums. On January 25th, 2007, Snopes 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). The hacker has not yet been caught, and all attempts to trace the video have proven futile. Such actions were rare even in the '80s (search for Chicago Max Headroom Incident) and are even more rare today. This video is significant in that is one of the most recent television hijackings. This range of frequency, when played for long periods of time, causes the eyes to subtly vibrate, sometimes inducing visual hallucinations. ![]() ![]() In this clip, the frequency being played is somewhere between 17 and 19 hz. While some believed it was paranormal, specialists have determined that the cause of these afflictions were frequencies played regularly throughout the broadcast. Complaints included vomiting, hallucinations, headaches, etc. The video is mostly locally well-known, and would probably not even be that popular if it were not for the effects it had on the few residents who watched it for an extended period of time. This clip is taken from one of these intervals. The camera position changed often (usually every ten-to-fifteen seconds) and the video was often interrupted by a "SPECIAL PRESENTATION" announcement. ![]() The video contained numerous clips of disembodied, human heads showing various emotions and "poses". A hacker managed to interrupt broadcasts from a local programming channel (believed to serve several smaller communities in the county of Niobrara) and aired his/her own video. The Wyoming Incident (or The Wyoming Hijacking) is a lesser known case of television broadcast hijacking/hacking.
