Now one mystery that Rockstar have been providing heavy references to are, duh, aliens. Throughout GTA V there are constant nods to UFOs, with murals painted throughout that one hippie trailer park and the flying saucer parts you can happen upon whilst exploring the desert. Whether or not all of that points to the ability in-game to actually meet some extraterrestrials (and possibly murder them with a baseball bat) is up for debate. The so-called Beam Me Up art installation that covers a whole hill east of Sandy Shores is just the tip of the iceberg. There's also a pair of silos painted with the sex aliens located outside of Stab City, a lone pillar located to the east behind You Tool which is also painted with the aliens in sexual positions, and the Alien Enthusiasts House filled with hippies and covered in alien abduction-related signs. Apparently it all pays off when you reach 100% completion of GTA V, a seemingly impossible Herculean task that would take literally weeks of non-stop work completing every side mission, finding every Easter Egg and so on. A UFO appears hovering over the graffiti park but does not "beam up" the player. You can fly up to investigate it with a helicopter, but that's about it. At least, that's all anyone's managed so far.
