Orson Welles' 1938 broadcast "War of the Worlds."
In the War of the Worlds broadcast, the bell signals the beginning of a newscast interruption that breaks the regular programming to report on strange atmospheric disturbances. This marks the transition into the dramatic narrative of the Martian invasion.
The 1958 radio broadcast of "War of the Worlds" was set in 1938, not in 1958. It was a re-airing of Orson Welles' original 1938 broadcast that caused panic among listeners who believed Martians were actually invading.
