Number 1 is genuinely terrifying and makes me believe in some weird shit...

These are all pretty stupid. Especially the number 1. The only one remotely interesting was #5.

I still think the Max Headroom hijacking is probably the greatest unsolved mystery in broadcasting history.
They never caught the guy and they never had any leads. Plus it's just downright surreal.

I remember reading somewhere a long time ago that the kind of jammer required isn't really easy to get for a normal person, and it's more than likely that it was the TV station's engineers that played the prank.

I dunno I thought it was kinda neat. This sorta thing always interests me.

Heh, the last one makes me think of Prey's reference to Art Bell's show in certain spots of the game.

Guess its not really a hacking but what about that one time when a guy held a TV presenter hostage, and then was super chill about it

Anything to do with old technology going wrong give me the spooks for some reason. I mean, when I was younger I used to freak out, cry and run out of the room whenever I saw a blue screen on my winxp computer.

I've always found the Captain Midnight one interesting, even if it isn't shrouded in the mystery of the Max Headroom Incident

I know it's a stretch, but there was this guy on 4chan who said he was the guy behind it.

Maybe it's real, maybe not. But I think everything he says makes sense.

#1 tbh could be just simple government misdirection. That's why the whole Roswell thing happened, just to fuck with the Soviets.
