On October 30, 1938, fear and panic gripped America as regular radio programming was seemingly interrupted by reports of a Martian invasion in Grover's Mill, New Jersey. Orson Welles' dramatization of H.G. Wells' science fiction classic The war of the worlds demonstrated the power of radio's "theatre of the imagination" and catapulted the 23-year-old impresario to national stardom. Hear the original, uncut radio broadcast that terrified a nation.
