The Night America Thought Martians Had Landed On October 30, 1938, Orson Welles delivered one of the most infamous broadcasts ever. His radio adaptation of The War of the Worlds was presented as breaking news, describing a Martian invasion in New Jersey. The realistic format fooled many listeners who missed the disclaimer, sparking confusion and reported panic. Decades later, it remains a powerful reminder of media’s influence—and a moment that still feels cinematic today.
