10 More Video Game Easter Eggs Nobody Understands

The Gran Turismo franchise might paint itself as a thoroughly serious racing simulator beyond compare, but it's evidently still got time for an eyebrow-raising Easter egg or two.

Using the game's photo mode, you're able to find a bevy of hidden visuals concealed around the tracks, such as a SpaceX rocket, monkeys, bears, kangaroos, and even Nessie the Loch Ness monster.

But the strangest of the lot can be found on Mount Panorama. You first need to drive to a specific part of the track overlooking a grassy hill, and if you wait there for 10 minutes, a UFO will fly into the sky, deploy a beam, and suck something up before flying off.

Using photo mode, you can get a closer glimpse at both the UFO and its victim - a poor, helpless cow.

Beyond the developers simply having some fun during development, it's a total head-scratcher. More to the point, why the hell do aliens always take cows? Calcium deficiency, perhaps?
