Blog Post: The Alien Voices That Haunted Gary Sudbrink

βοΈ By Juniper Ravenwood
A Call From the Unknown βοΈπ½
In February 1993, Air Force Captain Gary Sudbrink βοΈ picked up the phone at his parents’ Long Island home π , expecting a familiar voice. Instead, a robotic, otherworldly drone π€ greeted him, claiming to be an alien π½ and warning of deception, government interference ποΈ, and cosmic secrets tied to Orion β¨ and the moon π.
These calls, recorded on cassette πΌ and later shared on Art Bell’s Coast to Coast AM π», remain one of the most unsettling mysteries in paranormal history π». In Episode 190 of The Shadow Frequency ποΈ, we dove into this chilling case, and I’m still reeling from the eerie details π¨. Let’s explore what makes the Gary Sudbrink phone calls so haunting.
The Night the Phone Rang πβοΈ
It all began on February 8, 1993 π , when Gary, a 27-year-old stationed in San Antonio, Texas π€ , visited his parents unannounced. He called his friend Mike π to make plans, only to learn Mike had already spoken to “Gary” the previous day π₯—a conversation Gary never had π².
That night, the phone rang, and a mechanical voice asked, “Is Gary Sud-Sudbrink there?” π€ It knew details of his travel π, repeated cryptic phrases like “You’re being impersonated by the other voice” πͺ, and urged the family to “keep an eye on the skies” π near Orion.
Gary’s dad, no stranger to UFO lore ππΈ after his own sighting years earlier, recorded the calls ποΈ, capturing their strange, looping cadence π. The voice’s eerie knowledge and robotic tone left the family shaken π¨, wondering if they’d connected with something not of this world π½.
Cosmic Clues and Doppelgängers π πͺ
The calls continued into February 9 π , growing stranger. The voice spoke of “government interference” ποΈ and “visitations to be disrupted” π«, hinting at a larger conspiracy π€«. It mentioned “the dark side of the moon” π and “show double from you,” a phrase that chilled me to the core π₯Ά.
A year earlier, Gary’s brother Steven had seen someone resembling Gary ππ€ driving an identical car, making odd faces—an impossible sighting since Gary was elsewhere π€―.
Was this a doppelgänger πͺ, an alien mimic π½, or something else entirely? The voice’s fixation on impersonation and cosmic phenomena suggests a presence watching Gary ποΈ, perhaps probing his life for reasons we can’t grasp.
A Skeptical Pause π€
As much as I lean into the unknown π, there’s room to wonder: could this have been a prank π? Early voice modulation tech ποΈ existed in 1993, and someone with radio know-how π» might have targeted Gary.
But the caller’s intimate knowledge π΅οΈ of his unannounced trip and the precise, otherworldly phrasing π½ make a prank feel unlikely π«. The cassettes, raw and unpolished πΌ, carry a weight that’s hard to dismiss πΏ. Even if it was a hoax, it’s one crafted with unnerving precision π―.
Why It Still Haunts Us π»
The Sudbrink calls tap into primal fears π¨: being watched π, impersonated πͺ, or contacted by something beyond our understanding π½.
The mention of Orion β¨, government cover-ups ποΈ, and doubles π§βοΈπ§βοΈ echoes UFO lore πΈ, evoking images of shadowy agencies π΄οΈ and extraterrestrial agendas π.
Those tapes, passed around UFO conferences π€ and played on late-night radio ππ», hum with a frequency that feels… wrong π.
They’re a reminder that some mysteries don’t resolve neatly—they linger, like static on an empty line πβ‘.
