Growing online theory says Wyoming doesn't exist

GILLETTE, Wyo. (AP) — A growing online conspiracy theory says Wyoming doesn't really exist. Proponents of the idea discuss it on Reddit, where a “Wyoming doesn't exist” group with 24,000 members has almost twice as many people as a group dedicated to the state itself.

The Gillette News Record reports the group's moderators include a Wyoming native, 21-year-old Dalen Brazelton. Brazelton says people who discuss the theory say Wyoming is a big state but they've never met anybody from Wyoming.

Others say aliens may be involved. The theories get zanier the more they are explored.
