The "Wyoming Incident" refers to a supposedly mysterious and frightening television broadcast that occurred in 1987, where a strange video with creepy images and audio interrupted a regular TV show. However, upon further investigation, it was discovered that this incident was likely a hoax created by combining elements from different sources, including a 2007 video and a real incident that occurred in Chicago in 1987, known as the "Max Headroom incident." This incident involved a man dressed as the character Max Headroom interrupting a TV broadcast, but the motivations and identity of the person responsible remain unknown.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
