People in Southern San Andreas have seen UFOs! In this guide, we'll share more about this exciting event with UFOs in GTA Online. This isn't the first time UFOs have appeared in Blaine County and Los Santos. Last Halloween, locals dealt with strange weather and saw UFOs flying above them.

GTA Online UFO Event
Starting October 15th, a new UFO or a few will show up on the map every day. The location will change each day, but they'll appear at the same time for the first part of the event: between 10 PM and 4 AM in-game time. Once the Halloween weather kicks in, they’ll be visible from 7:30 PM to 6:30 AM in-game time. You’ll have a chance to photograph a total of 26 UFOs over the next few weeks.
To find a UFO, just look for one and get close, but not too close. If you take a photo of the UFO using Snapmatic, you can send it to Omega on your iFruit phone. The option to send it will show up once you’re close enough and have taken the photo.
You’ll earn GTA$ and RP for each photo you take. For a standard UFO, you’ll get $15,000 and 1,000 RP. Stealth UFOs are harder to find, so they’ll give you $50,000 and 1,000 RP. If you manage to photograph every unique UFO, you’ll unlock special rewards at the end of October: UFO Boxer Shorts, a “???” tee, and a Glow Believe Cap!
At the end of this event later in the month, you’ll receive a new weapon: a melee stun rod called The Shocker. More details about it will be shared soon!
