Jeff Wayne released his Musical Version of The War of the Worlds in 1978, adapting H. G. Wells' 1898 novel about a Martian invasion of England. In the story Ulla is the haunting call of the Martians and their machines, woven through the rock and orchestral score as a recurring motif of danger. The album became hugely popular in Britain and has been reissued, remixed, toured live and adapted for the stage over decades. That lasting fame keeps the Ulla call familiar online, where sci-fi fans reuse it for invasion memes and tributes.

The Ulla sound effect from Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds, the eerie Martian cry used for alien invasions and sci-fi scares.
This is the chilling Ulla cry from Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds, a long wailing call associated with the Martian fighting machines. The sound stretches and echoes like an alien voice carried across a ruined landscape, part siren and part mournful horn. It builds a feeling of dread rather than a sudden jump scare, making the threat feel huge, distant and unstoppable. Listeners who know the album recognise it instantly, while others hear a classic science fiction warning that something extraterrestrial has arrived.
