Does anyone remember...

...that special that aired on FOX (Channel 5 in NY) about a decade ago on Halloween? It was basically one where they tried to make everything seem extremely realistic. The only thing I remember specifically was that they were "fake reporting" as if there was a comet heading for Earth and it would hit within a few minutes, causing the destruction of the planet. Only reason I remember this is because my grandmother called the house in the biggest fright EVER since she "accidently" tuned in in the middle of it. Didn't know it was fake.

That's 1938, though.

I recall... the story as I remember was as follows:

A meteor was headed for earth. Everyone was in a panic. Then more meteors were coming, and then the "movie" ended with the entire earth about to be demolished by a ton of meteors which turned out to have been sent by aliens.

I can't recall the title. But I do remember the title of another one they did with the "fake news" angle. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116719/

Yeah. Yeah. That's it. Thanks for the link. I don't actually remember watching the Mars special but apparently this was the meteor special:
