In 1938 a radio broadcast describing the invasion of earth by Martians presented as a news bulletin by narrator Orson Welles led to widespread panic by listeners who believed actual events were taking place. In fact, the broadcast was a close adaptation of The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells. Public interest in the possibility of intelligent life on Mars had first been aroused by the discovery of canals in 1877. On August 2, 1894 the British journal Nature reported that French astronomers had observed a light emanating from the edges of the disk of Mars “in the region of the planet not illuminated by the sun at the time of the observation”, prompting speculation that inhabitants of the planet were attempting to send signals at a time when the orbits of the planets were close and intensifying interest in alien encounters.
