has a long and storied past with aliens and UFOs - veteran players may remember a time a couple years back when the Mount Chiliad mystery was a whole thing in the community. More recently, Rockstar has been adding more straightforward alien easter eggs to the game, and it seems more visitations are coming up as Halloween approaches.
Briefly teased in a recent official post detailing weekly bonuses and in-game discounts, we've known for a short while that UFOs will start popping up - and the first sightings are already in. Ever since that announcement, each day a flying saucer has appeared in-game between 10 PM and 3 AM in different locations.
In each case, it merely hovers above ground (or sea, in some cases) without doing much of anything. It does, however, automatically disable all vehicles that get close, and is completely impervious to any kind of damage. At one of the locations, just off the coast from Paleto Bay, it hovers exactly above the crashed UFO wreckage on the seabed that's been an easter egg in the game since launch.
