TAILS OF HISTERA DRIVERS
While causes were suspected to be as outlandish as meteoric dust and radioactive fallout from H-bomb tests, in reality it was most likely that drivers were simply noticing regular damage on their windscreens for the first time. This was followed in 1947 with thousands of ‘UFO’ sightings near Mt Rainer in Washington, most of which could all be explained as everyday objects such as balloons, planets and solar reflections.ġ954 brought with it an epidemic of windshield damage on around 3,000 cars in Seattle. In 1938, a radio-broadcasted reading of H G Wells’ novel The War of the Worlds led some New Jersey locals to believe that a real alien invasion was upon them.
