People are in a panic about all kinds of fake shit all the time
Because they are exposed to false information presented truthfully. A thing you contend is impossible.
It was a work of fiction, the author acknowledges it as work of fiction
Not to the audience responding to the radio play.
It literally says it is a work of fiction.
It says it is Based On A True Story, and then includes the names of real people and the outline of verifiable events. There is no indication within the narrative that an event happened or not. There is no disclaimer on which characters are real and which are fictionalized.

You're a victim of your own priors.
