Consider these versions of the war of the worlds. excerpt 1, from h. g. wells's novel the war of the worlds: then came the night of the first falling star. it was seen early in the morning, rushing over winchester eastward, a line of flame high in the atmosphere. hundreds must have seen it, and taken it for an ordinary falling star. albin described it as leaving a greenish streak behind it that glowed for some seconds. denning, our greatest authority on meteorites, stated that the height of its first appearance was about ninety or one hundred miles. it seemed to him that it fell to earth about one hundred miles east of him.
excerpt 2, from howard e. koch's script for orson welles's radio adaptation: announcer two: ladies and gentlemen, we interrupt our program of dance music to bring you a special bulletin from the intercontinental radio news. at twenty minutes before eight, central time, professor farrell of the mount jennings observatory, chicago, illinois, reports observing several explosions of incandescent gas, occurring at regular intervals on the planet mars. the spectroscope indicates the gas to be hydrogen and moving towards the earth with enormous velocity.
