excerpt 1, from h. g. wells's novel the war of the worlds:

excerpt 2, from howard e. koch's script for orson welles's radio adaptation:

phillips: ladies and gentlemen, you've just heard mr. wilmuth, owner of the farm where this thing has fallen. i wish i could convey the atmosphere . . the background of this . . fantastic scene. hundreds of cars are parked in a field in back of us. police are trying to rope off the roadway leading to the farm. but it's no use. they're breaking right through. cars' headlights throw an enormous spot on the pit where the object's half buried. some of the more daring souls are now venturing near the edge. their silhouettes stand out against the metal sheen.

(faint humming sound)

one man wants to touch the thing . . he's having an argument with a policeman. the policeman wins . .
