Document Summary
Missed the beginning that this was a play not real. Just observed jets of blue flame from mars heading towards earth. People sold cars and tv"s but continued buying radios. Pushed the world to the brink of war. Believed they were going to be exempt from all that was happening in europe but also were worried that bad things would happen. Strange creatures were spraying the crowd with light rays. Standing in middle of broadcasting saying stop. Everyone was waiting for there q to start up again. Broke all the rules that didn"t even exist. As an actor he wrapped up impressive roster. 7 days before broadcast was supposed to air, someone bought a map and randomly. The shadow decided an area for this to take place (gloversville new jersey) Wells finally heard the show and called it dull. People presumed the broadcaster was with the dead. Organ music was just cut off when the radio silenced.
