Description

Lucian (100 BC) and Kepler (1608) described physical, not magical or supernatural, moon voyages. Kepler used best available science. 1835 newspaper series detailed moon life (Great Moon Hoax). War of the Worlds broadcasts including Orson Welles’ 1938 dramatization caused panics. After Quito broadcast station was burned to ground with several deaths. Was the 1938 response myth? Newspaper conspiracy attacking rival media? Did 1968 WKBW Buffalo broadcast bring Canadian troops to the Peace Bridge? What caused belief in Moon hoaxes? Martian invasions? Join us for a fascinating investigation of these topics.
