GTA 5’s Unsolvable Mystery Broke Fans for Over a Decade, and GTA 6 Should Do It Again
GTA 5's Mount Chiliad holds a mystery that some fans think still hasn't been solved, and GTA 6 should include something similar.
In the game Grand Theft Auto 5, Mount Chiliad stands out as an iconic landmark. This peak, the highest point in San Andreas, was claimed by the Spanish in 1769 and has been under American control since 1847. It is more than just a mountain, as players who complete the game's story discover a UFO hovering above it at 3 a.m. on cloudy nights.
This UFO, marked with an F.I.B. logo, has sparked countless theories and debates among fans, with some believing it to be a government-controlled hologram. However, others argue it is a physical object, as it can be collided with and emits electromagnetic pulses that disable vehicles. The mural near the mountain's summit, featuring an eye and lightning bolts, adds to the enigma, along with a maze of lines connecting to eight squares.
Each "X" in the mural is said to correspond to petroglyphs marking weather conditions required for the UFO to appear. The cracked egg symbol has caused significant confusion, with theories ranging from the Epsilon cult to the underwater UFO in Paleto Bay. Some players even speculate that GTA 6 may provide a resolution to the Chiliad Mystery, but the hunt continues, with fans still uncovering new theories and possibilities.
