The Martians are Coming!!! The Martians are Coming!!!
Today marks the seventy-eighth anniversary of Orson
Welles’ infamous 1938 Radio broadcast that panicked America. In order to commemorate
this anniversary, and wish our dear readers a Happy Halloween, we would like to
offer you a very unique triple treat of panic and mayhem.
Our first treat for you today the movie titled
"The Night That Panicked America"
an American made-for-television movie that was originally broadcast on the ABC
network on October 31, 1975. The movie dramatizes events surrounding Orson
Welles’ infamous War of the Worlds radio broadcast (based on the novel of the
same name by English author H.G. Wells) of October 30, 1938, which had led some
people to believe that an invasion of Martians was actually happening in Grover's Mill, New Jersey.
Our second and third video features for today are two
documentaries that recently aired which take a scientific look at the possible
motivations behind an alien invasion of our world and how humanity may hope to
defend itself.
