Answer:

The narrator's attention to the arrival of Martians was first drawn when a large cylindrical object crashed near the home of the narrator in Maybury.

Explanation:

"The War Of The Worlds" is a science fiction written by H. G. Wells.

The novel is about the invasion of Martians on planet Earth to destroy it and take over it.

In the novel, the narrator is a hobbyist astronomer who, first, sensed the invasion of Martians on Earth, when he observed the flashes from Mars. About this, the narrator, informs his friend Ogilvy, who mocks him and ignored  his observation.

<u>The narrator's attention was first drawn to the arrival of Martians when there was a crash of a cylindrical object near his home in Maybury. He describes the object as a 'big greyish, rounded bulk.' This object crashed in the backyard of his home and when he saw the cylindrical object, he knew they were Martians</u>.
