In 1898 H.G. Wells published "The War of the Worlds".
Then in 2006, Jeff Wayne's musical version was released on video. It includes background images of "green objects" propelled into space approaching Earth. They look eerily familiar to the comet.
I rediscovered that composition a couple weeks ago -- being a huge Justin Hayward (Moody Blues) fan, I play it often (while I'm working at another screen). His vocals add so much depth to the opening of the piece. And they add a tremendously strong emotional effect to the plot (which I won't spoil for you here). Richard Burton's voice as narrator is likewise effective for this Boomer.

Check it out!
