• Mars Invasion as Orson Welles Fraud

  Mars Invasion as Orson Welles Fraud is the theory that the 1938 War of the Worlds broadcast was not merely a realistic radio drama but a cover story, distraction, or controlled public test tied to a real extraterrestrial landing or a suppressed unusual event in New Jersey. In this interpretation, Orson Welles and CBS did not accidentally cause confusion; they provided the narrative mask for something genuine that authorities or broadcasters could not describe directly.
