Mark Lim has depicted a [multicolored](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorama) version of what happens during an alien abduction. From my vantage point, it looks like a U2 iTunes download should be playing along in the background.

As a gratuitous random tangent, you should know that Mark Lim has unwittingly created a [work of art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition) that depicts the one thing that brings crazy hillbillies and the government together--alien abduction.
