Text The most famous radio broadcast in history took place at 8 :00p.m on october 30, 1938 .It was Halloween eve, and millions of Americans turned on their radios to listen to a popular programme starring Orson welles. The program that evening was an adaptation of a science fictionstory called The war of the Worlds. Orson welles thought that this story about a Martian invasion would be a good one for te night before Halloween .But Welles decided to make some changesin the original story.For example, he changed the setting from London in the 1890s to present -day New Jersey.Weels also made the show sound like an actual news broadcast about a real invasion from Mars to make it seem more realistic and scary. The show began with an orchestra playing dance music. After a few minutes the music was interrupted with a news bulletin reporting that a huge flaming object had landed in New Jersey. The music continued, but the news bulletin kept interrupting with live reports from the scene . during the show ; actors pretending to be news announcers and policemen described in great detail the terrifying invasion from Mars. An announcer stated at the beginning of the show that the program was a fictional dramatization. Unfortunately , many listeners tunes in after the show had begun and missed the announcement.They were shocked and afraid when they heard that Martians had landed in the United States. They thought they were listening to a real news bulletin.Thousands of frightened Americans believed that actual invasion of Earth was taking place.The program was so realistic that they could really hear Martians and smell their poison gas.Some people packed their suitcases , got into their cars , and attempted to escape .Others tried to defend themselves from aliens by hiding in basements , loading guns,even wrapping their heads in wet towels to protect themselves from Martian poison gas.
