While I can find no Media account of it apparently a bunch of young boys and girls where scared to death after rumors of Martians landing in Calvary Cemetery in Hazelwood Section of Pittsburgh and where hiding on top of the nearby Water Tower .

Apparently a bunch of strange lights where seen in the cemetery one evening in 1950's during the Cold War Scare when many where on edge and supposedly some boys went and investigated and saw the Martians and spread it all over the neighborhood.
As far as I can tell there is nothing to it a bunch of active imaginations .
surly if there was anything to it press or post gazette would have picked it up.
But given the times yes a school kid would have been very scared to hear Martians had landed
But look how the Green man story took off . But there was some truth to that one .
