As with the first movie, Beyond Skyline also sees use of the hypnotic blue light. In order to abduct humans, the aliens have blue lights which instantly hypnotize the humans who look upon it, forcing them to walk towards the light as they are taken. Once completely under their control, the aliens then remove the brains of the humans they've captured and use their energy.
