He’s having Wells flashbacks.
DUH! Been too long since I’ve seen/heard “War of the Worlds”.
In the early ‘70s, I found an album at a flea market that was a recording of the original radio broadcast. If you didn’t hear the very first few seconds, you didn’t know it was Wells’ production. I could see how so many people freaked out when they heard it that night.
I wish I still had it. I don’t know what happened to it. Moved too many times and it got lost in the shuffle. :-(
It looks like clouds are moving in wherever NASA’s telescope is. I hope they don’t get any thicker than they are right now.
Just think of all the idiots that would be zapped while taking selfies.
