I just figured it out.
Orsen Wells was commissioned by the government or an agency to conduct a feasibility test - the broadcast of War of the Worlds on Oct. 30, 1938. I think it was a feasibility test to see what the public's reaction would be.
After people started to commit suicide, I guess they determined that it probably wasn't a good idea to disclose the UFO reality.
They probably then turned to Hollywood to start a very long campaign of covert disclosure to get us ready for the inevitable. I suppose seeing a movie makes the OK because you can see your favorite starts interacting with aliens, so you know it's not true... but it still preps the mind with the possibility.
It's strange that he was commissioned to write such a terrible story if it was not a likely outcome. This is assuming I'm right about the whole thing being a test and that he was commissioned for the task.
