Human beings are always curious about otherworldly beings, whether it be unusual lights in the sky or strange occurrences. Our imaginations are still alive as well as in movies and television series. Conspiracy theories are just as relevant as ever.
The fascination with objects in the sky has certainly increased during the twentieth century. H.G. Wells wrote a tale that later became a radio play before the 1947 sightings. Its broadcasting through the airwaves had some troubling results! Many of the radio listeners suspect they were under attack by Martians, according to The War of the Worlds, which was published in 1898 and later broadcast by CBS radio in 1938. The drama sparked imaginations, narrated by Orson Welles. Click here to listen to the episode.
