GTA Online UFO Event Explained
For those who may not be aware, UFOs play a special role in the annual Halloween event within GTA Online. In the previous year, players had to embark on a quest to find these mysterious flying objects, snap pictures of them, and then send these pictures to a character named Omega in exchange for exciting in-game rewards.
This year, the Halloween event has made a comeback, offering players another chance to snag these rewards if they missed out last time. There are a total of 26 UFOs scattered across the vast landscape of San Andreas in GTA Online, and this event kicked off on October 12.
Some days will feature just one UFO, while others will have multiple UFOs to discover. It's important to note that these UFOs can only be observed in the in-game world between the hours of 10 PM and 4 AM, so you'll need to wait until nighttime to begin capturing these elusive objects in photographs.
