On October 30th, 1938, the United States experienced mass hysteria--most pronounced on the east coast in New York and New Jersey--in response to a radio broadcast put on by Orson Welles and his Mercury Theater On The Air. The public reaction has prompted decades of research into mass hysteria, been used as a model by the military around the world to design information warfare against enemy troops and civilian populace, and used as the most compelling reason to protect the public from the knowledge of the presence of aliens on Earth.
In 2003 would we fall for this on radio or were the people in 1938 gullible?

I think we would be more liable to believe it, as the number of weird happenings has to have increased. And, Jon, could you please stop jumping up and down, you are making me dizzy.

I don't watch the news - too depressing. So I guess I wouldn't do anything not knowing about it.
