Cicadas descend upon NJ town where aliens landed in ‘War of the Worlds’

First it was aliens, now it’s cicadas.

Periodical cicadas known as Blood X have descended on the New Jersey town that was the site of the Martian landing in the famous sci-fi drama, “The War of the Worlds.” The noisy insects crawled out of small holes where they had been hiding for 17 years in the soil of Van Nest Park in Grovers Mill — and made a beeline for the monument dedicated to the 1938 radio show that later became a film, NJ.com reported.
