Question - 101

A memorial to what and where is it located?

Answer: The memorial is to the notorious Orson Welles directed radio adaptation of H.G.Wells' War of the Worlds. Welles' production was so realistic that many people thought martians had actually landed in Grover Mills, NJ which is where the memorial is located. Keshav, Iam, Raghu, Mekie, QoD, Hirak, Manix, Vateez and Divya got it. Well done.

The Monument is at Grover Mills NJ

It is a memorial to the "War of the worlds" airing by Orson Welles

In the adaptaion, this is the landing site of the Martians

Orson Wells' War of the Worlds radio broadcast, which scared the residents of Chicago.

Awesome Question

This is a memorial to Orson Welles' radio production of HG Wells' "War of the Worlds" which started on Oct 30, 1938. It generated mass hysteria because people thought it was really happening.

It is at the location of the supposed martian landing at Grovers' Mill, New Jersey
