Here\u2019s what the first looked like. (MSN \/ Washington Post)<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>On. Oct. 30, 1938, America was rocked by shocking news: Aliens had been spotted crash-landing outside Grover\u2019s Mill, N.J. Additional sightings were soon made across the Northeast, including reports of Martians unleashing poisonous gas on Manhattan and burning onlookers alive with ray guns. Periodically, the breathless news reports would be reduced to static.<\/p>\n<p>Listeners reacted in real time; many of them flooded the streets wearing gas masks and wet towels over their faces. Stores were raided, bridges and expressways were inundated with traffic, and pregnant women reportedly went into early labor.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the alien invasion never actually happened. The news bulletins were part of a live Halloween program a young producer and a cast of talented actors were presenting over the radio. The producer was 23-year-old Orson Welles, and the name of the episode was \u201cWar of the Worlds.\u201d The H.G. Wells-adapted story had been produced for radio as part of Welles\u2019s regular Sunday night broadcast, \u201cThe Mercury Theater on the Air\u201d \u2014 a program that had hitherto been largely ignored, as it was up against a wildly popular variety show starring comedians Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy.<\/p>\n<p>Only this Sunday was different, as millions of Americans who had tuned in to listen to Bergen and McCarthy changed their dials when the duo introduced a guest opera singer. \u201cNo one was in the mood for opera that night, and much of the country stumbled onto Welles\u2019s broadcast by mistake, not knowing the news bulletins they heard were part of a radio drama,\u201d explained Carl Amari, a syndicated radio host and the founder of Radio Spirits, a large distributor of classic radio programs.

People slid blank cylinders onto their Edison phonographs (or shaved down the wax on commercial cylinders) and recorded their families, their environments, themselves.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I first started here, it was a format I didn&#8217;t know much about,&#8221; said Jessica Wood, assistant curator for music and recorded sound at The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. &#8220;But it became my favorite format, because there&#8217;s so many unknowns and it&#8217;s possible to discover things that haven&#8217;t been heard since they were recorded.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They haven&#8217;t been heard because the wax is so fragile. The earliest, putty-colored cylinders deteriorate after only a few dozen listens if played on the Edison machines; they crack if you hold them too long in your hand. And because the wax tubes themselves were unlabeled, many of them remain mysteries.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They could be people&#8217;s birthday parties,&#8221; Wood said, recordings that could tell us more about the social history of the time. &#8220;Or they could be &#8220;The Star-Spangled Banner&#8221; or something incredibly common,&#8221; she laughed. &#8220;I really hope for people&#8217;s birthday parties.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s particularly curious about a box of unlabeled cylinders she found on a storage shelf in 2016. All she knows about them is what was on the inside of the box: Gift of Mary Dana to the New York Public Library in 1935.<\/p>\n<p>Enter the Endpoint Cylinder and Dictabelt Machine, invented by Californian Nicholas Bergh, which recently was acquired by the library. Thanks to the combination of its laser and needle, it can digitize even broken or cracked wax cylinders \u2014 and there are a lot of those. But Bergh said, the design of the cylinder, which makes it fragile, is also its strength.
