The Signal Has Returned – 1958 War of the Worlds Newspaper Poster – Groove City Gazette

GROOVE CITY, U.S.A. — THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1958

Twenty years ago tonight, America heard the warning. What if it wasn't just a radio play?

This is Issue No. 214 of The Groove City Gazette, recovered from our alternate archive.

A previously unpublished photograph reportedly taken near Grover's Mill, New Jersey — October 30, 1938 — has surfaced. The same night Orson Welles and the Mercury Theatre on the Air broadcast The War of the Worlds on CBS.

Was it all a brilliantly crafted radio drama? Or did the broadcast reflect something more?

In Groove City, the signal returned on 88.0.
