Harmless Tool or Alien Probe?
Saturday, January 12th, 2008From “The War of the Worlds” by H. G. Wells, performed by Orson Welles & the Mercury Theatre, broadcast on CBS Radio Sunday, October 30, 1938:
We know now that in the early years of the twentieth century this world was being watched closely by intelligences greater than man’s, and yet as mortal as his own. We know now that as human beings busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinized and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinize the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water.
