Taken in the Night: The Abduction Call


In March 1997, during a *Coast to Coast AM* episode on UFO abductions, a man from Tucson, Arizona, called Art, his voice quivering with trauma. Broadcasting from Pahrump to 15 million listeners, Art was discussing grey aliens when the caller, “David,” shared a harrowing experience. Weeks earlier, he awoke paralyzed in his bedroom, surrounded by three grey beings with large black eyes.

Taken to a ship with glowing panels, he experienced two hours of missing time and received telepathic warnings of Earth’s “cleansing.” Around 3:20 AM, as he described the ship’s hum, high-pitched tones surged through the call, audible to listeners, and he gasped, “There’s a light outside my window!”

The line cut abruptly with static. Art, shaken, noted the tones matched abduction reports.[1][2]

The 1997 Call: A Voice from the Stars


The episode aired amid 1997’s UFO wave, post-Phoenix Lights. David connected at 3:15 AM, describing a blinding light in his room on February 10, 1997 (32.2217°N, 110.9265°W). The greys, 4 feet tall, communicated via thoughts, warning of environmental collapse. He recalled a table with holographic displays and a burning sensation on his arm.

During the call, the tones—shrill, oscillating—erupted as he mentioned the ship’s interior. “It’s back, Art—the light’s pulsing!” he cried, followed by static and a cut-off at 3:22 AM. Art’s engineer confirmed no studio interference; 200+ listeners reported similar tones that night.[3][4]

The Encounter: Greys and Warnings


David described the greys as emotionless, with smooth skin and telepathic voices saying, “You are not ready.” The ship had a sterile smell and walls that pulsed with light. Post-abduction, he found triangular burn marks on his arm, photographed but later lost.

The warnings spoke of a 21st-century “reset” tied to climate shifts. The live tones matched abduction audio in MUFON files, suggesting an alien presence during the call. Art linked it to Betty and Barney Hill’s 1961 case, noting similar burns.[2][5]

Aftermath: Marks of the Unknown


A follow-up call days later had David reporting new burns and nightmares of the ship. Art received listener faxes with sketches of greys, and 50+ reported lights in Tucson that week.

The audio, analyzed in 1998, showed no tampering, with tones at 8 kHz, unnatural for phones.

No hoax confession; Art tied it to 1997’s UFO surge, warning of alien contact.[1][3]

Investigations: Archives and Echoes


The audio survives in Internet Archive’s 2023 *Coast to Coast AM* collection (450k downloads), transcribed on Higgypop Paranormal. MUFON’s 1997 Arizona report logs 40+ abduction cases, some with burns.

Reddit r/Abductions (2023, 170 upvotes) confirms tone patterns. X searches (#ArtBellAbduction, 2023) show 900 posts speculating alien surveillance.[4][5]

Theories: Alien Contact or Psyche?


Did greys abduct David, their live tones signaling a return, or was it a vivid hallucination? The burns and warnings suggest aliens watching Earth, unveiled in a chilling call.[2][6]

Cultural and Historical Significance
