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

Saw a PC Gamer piece about someone trying to mod UFO sightings into GTA 5. The headline says it didn't quite go to plan, and the whole article body is just

Well, it'll do.
That's it. No explanation, no screenshots, no nothing. Which honestly is kind of funny. You spend all that effort getting some flying saucers to spawn over Sandy Shores and the best you can manage is a shrug.

I've been there with mods. You tweak a script for three hours, the UFO finally appears, and it just hovers there looking wrong. You can't even be mad, you just accept it.

It got me thinking about GTA 6 though. Rockstar has always leaned into the alien stuff, from the Mount Chiliad mystery to the UFOs in GTA Online. If they're going all in on Leonida with the swamps and the Keys, there's no way they skip the weirdness. I'm not saying I need a full alien invasion, but some subtle sightings around Grassrivers or a crashed saucer half buried in the mangroves would fit the vibe. Rockstar hides this kind of thing until launch, so we won't know until November.

Anyway, if you're gonna mod UFOs into GTA 5, maybe have more to say than three words.

Honestly "Well, it'll do" is the most accurate mod review ever written. I'm kinda curious what actually went wrong though, like did the saucers just spawn upside down or clip through the desert?

Got a take on this?
