I put UFO sightings in Grand Theft Auto 5, though it didn't quite go to plan

In a surprising mod for Grand Theft Auto 5, a user named <source 42a59f83-493> introduced UFO sightings throughout the game world. The aim was to create an eerie and mysterious atmosphere, especially at night. Initially, the mod functioned as intended, with the UFO appearing at random locations and vanishing after some time.

However, the user soon realized that they had installed the mod during the day, leading to numerous failed attempts to locate the UFO. Realizing the mistake, they accelerated the game clock, and a pop-up appeared proclaiming, "UFO sighting reported." Confident in their mission, the user took off in pursuit of the glowing red UFO.

To their surprise, the experience turned out quite differently from their initial expectations. Instead of a hazy, mysterious visitor from another world, the UFO appeared only 30 feet in the air, right in the middle of a downtown Los Santos intersection. The flashing lights of the UFO were too intense, causing potential harm to anyone with epilepsy. The mod, which was meant to be a thrilling and secretive encounter, turned out to be a dangerous distraction, possibly vanishing entirely after a brief appearance.
