This was the broadcast that literally panic the U.S.. People were fleeing their homes, people were calling the police, CBS Studios. AT&T reported that their switchboards was overloaded. My mother who was a teenager at that time, told me people were coming out of their houses, looking up at the sky to spot any Martians. I've made this video in three parts.
1. The original 1938 broadcast, digitally remastered in 2011.
2. A short film of Orson Welles with talking to reporters, explaining exactly what happened and the broadcast was not supposed to scare people out of their wits.
3. A radio broadcast from Oct. 28, 1940. This was the only time that H. G. Wells & Orson Welles met each other. Enjoy this production and thumbs up please.
