Three in the morning, a thunderstorm, the top of Mount Chiliad. You’ve just hit 100% in GTA V, you’ve climbed up there half-believing the forums, and then a huge ship hangs right over your head, humming. I remember sitting there for a good ten minutes, just looking up. Every GTA fan who has done that is going to try the same thing in Leonida. This page is where we’ll keep the hunt.
What GTA 6 has shown
Nothing alien yet. The short version, and why it’s still a safe bet, sits in the secrets overview. What matters for a UFO hunter is the one hook Rockstar wrote itself: its description of Mount Kalaga talks about “hillbilly mystics and paranoid radicals” living out in the backwoods, and the game’s synopsis promises a criminal conspiracy that stretches across the state. Mystics, paranoia and a conspiracy, even if that last one is about crime, not aliens. If I were hiding a flying saucer in Leonida, that’s exactly the neighbourhood I’d pick.
Where UFOs have been before
Rockstar has played this game for twenty years, and the rules are surprisingly consistent: a remote place, the night, and some condition you have to meet first.
| Game | Where the UFO is | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| GTA San Andreas | Lil’ Probe Inn, Area 69, the Bone County desert | Only myths and nods; no UFO in the game |
| GTA V | Above the summit of Mount Chiliad | 100% completion, 3 a.m., thunderstorm |
| GTA V | Above Fort Zancudo | 100% completion |
| GTA V | Above the hippie camp in Sandy Shores | 100% completion |
| GTA V | A wreck on the sea floor off the north coast | Dive for it; no conditions |
| GTA V | 50 spaceship parts for Omega | Collect them all across the map |
San Andreas is the funny one. It built a whole desert of alien jokes, a bar called Lil’ Probe Inn and a secret base called Area 69, and fans spent years hunting UFOs that were never there. GTA V paid that debt back with real sightings, and it saved the best one for players who had finished everything.
What to expect in Leonida
If the pattern holds, the first places to check are obvious. Mount Kalaga at night, for the mystics. A military base, if Leonida has one. The empty stretches of the Grassrivers, where a light over the swamp would look properly creepy. And the sea floor off the Leonida Keys, because GTA V hid a wreck underwater and Leonida has much more water to hide things in. Expect the big sighting to sit behind 100% completion again, as a reward for the players who don’t stop at the credits. Honestly, I hope Rockstar breaks its own pattern and surprises us. That would be the best easter egg of all.
Launch-day table
From 19 November every confirmed sighting goes here: checked in the game, with the time and weather it needs.
| Place | Time | Condition | What happens |
|---|---|---|---|
| — | — | — | — |
| — | — | — | — |
| — | — | — | — |

The first update lands within 72 hours of the 19 November launch. Some UFOs need a finished 100%, and that takes a while even for the fastest players, so the table will keep growing for weeks.
FAQ
Is there a UFO in GTA 6?
None has been shown in the trailers or official screenshots. GTA V had several, and Rockstar’s own description of Mount Kalaga mentions mystics, so fans expect one.
How did you find the UFO in GTA V?
Finish 100%, then go to the top of Mount Chiliad at 3 a.m. during a thunderstorm. After 100% UFOs also hover over Fort Zancudo and Sandy Shores, and a wrecked one lies on the sea floor off the north coast.
Where should you look for a UFO in GTA 6?
Start with Mount Kalaga at night, then any military base and the empty swamps of the Grassrivers. We’ll add every confirmed sighting to the table on this page after launch.
