Em 1938 o Orson Welles e sua trupe adaptaram "Guerra dos mundos" pro rádio e deu aquele auê né. Descobri agora que a cidade onde supostamente os alienígenas pousaram tem um monumento em homenagem ao evento hahaha amei (por mais monumentos assim e menos de racistas colonizadores): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grovers_Mill,_New_Jersey#/media/File:Landingsite_statue.JPG

  Grovers Mill, New Jersey
  
  Grovers Mill is an unincorporated community located within West Windsor in Mercer County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. It is centered around the intersection of Clarksville Road and Cranbury Road, adjacent to the community's mill-pond. It is 4 miles (6 km) southeast of Princeton, 6 miles (10 km) northwest of Hightstown, and 12 miles (19 km) northeast of Trenton, the state capital. History The community grew around a saw/gristmill at 164 Cranbury Road, which was likely constructed in the mid-1700s. The mill's first owner was Daniel Wolsey in 1759. It is presumed that the adjacent mill pond was formed around the same time through the damming of the Bear Brook, whose flow through a concrete-walled raceway turned a large wooden water wheel for generations. Grovers Mill assumed various names depending on its ownership: "Woolsey's Mill" (1750s), "Wright's Mill" (1760s), "Bergen's Mill" (1770s-1805; 1811-1816), "Walker's Mill" (1805-1811), "Thomas' Mill"/"Bear Mill" (1816-1837), "Schwenger's Mill" (1837-1868), and, after Joseph H. Grover purchased it in 1868, "Grover's Mill." The apostrophe in the name is often not included...

  @buca Igual a cidade de Varginha? Nunca fui lá, mas o pessoal aceitou bem a identidade de incidente de aliens visitando a cidade.
  Será que os mais novos, quem está nos sub-30 anos, conhecem essa história? Mesmo sendo bobo, é uma história legal de contar por entretenimento. Deveria fazer um filme brasileiro do ET de Varginha voltando para cidade anos depois.
