The radio drama that caused widespread panic about an alien invasion was "The War of the Worlds," directed by Orson Welles and broadcast on October 30, 1938. The adaptation of H.G. Wells' novel was presented as a series of realistic news bulletins, leading many listeners to believe that an actual Martian invasion was occurring. The dramatic portrayal and the medium of radio contributed to the confusion, resulting in a significant public reaction.
