UFO Sightseeing 2025: Aliens, Idiots, and the Southern San Andreas Circus

So apparently, the aliens are back. And this time, they’re not here to probe cows or beam up Elon Musk’s ego. No, they’ve decided to take a joyride over Southern San Andreas—because even intergalactic tourists can’t resist a skyline filled with gunfights, strippers, and insurance fraud.


From October 14, every night between 10 PM and 4 AM, mysterious metal saucers will hover overhead. Take a photo, send it to that tinfoil-hat lunatic Omega, and he’ll shower you with cash and RP. Because nothing says “believe in the unknown” like turning extraterrestrial evidence into in-game currency.




Rules of Engagement

You’ve got from 10:00 PM to 4:00 AM (in-game) to spot the bastards before they bugger off again. Avoid being online around 8:00 AM on April 20, 69420 (yes, that’s the actual date—someone at Rockstar’s office was clearly high), or you’ll break the UFO locator and start seeing things that aren’t there.


There’s a five-minute cooldown after joining a new session before the UFOs appear—presumably because the aliens are still finding a parking spot.


Some UFOs only show up on certain days, marked with a mysterious symbol that screams, “you should be working, not doing this.”



Rewards for the Delusional

  • Photograph all 26 UFOs → Earn the Believe Cap. Because fashion and gullibility go hand-in-hand.

  • Get abducted Oct 30–31 → Unlock UFO Boxer Shorts and the ??? Tee, proving you’ve been probed in style.

  • Raid the secret facility → Snag the Shocker weapon and Gray Space Interloper Outfit. Finally, you can look like that one guy at Comic-Con who takes it too seriously.



Survival Tips for Amateur X-Files

  1. Don’t stand directly under them — unless you enjoy rectal experiments.

  2. Bring a camera. Not for evidence, but because the lighting is amazing.

  3. Work in pairs. That way, when you’re abducted, someone can laugh about it on Reddit.

  4. Skip the early mornings. You’ll see enough weird stuff by 4 AM anyway.

  5. If you find a loot crate in the “secret facility,” open it. Worst case, it’s space herpes.



Final Thoughts

So there you have it — UFO Sightseeing 2025, another grand excuse to ignore your job, alienate your friends (pun intended), and take pictures of dots in the sky for a man who thinks microwaves are spies.


And yet... we’ll all be there. Standing under the stars at 3 AM, muttering, “come on, abduct me already.”


Because deep down, we don’t want proof. We want the chaos.

About the Editor
Naamloos3.png

I'm Niels Gys, founder and editor of CRIMENET GAZETTE. I write about crime, heist, villain, and horror games because somebody has to separate genuine criminal masterpieces from games that couldn't organize a successful mugging.

Outside the website, I'm the frontman of JETBLACK SMILE, a Belgian rock 'n' roll band that sounds like bad decisions played through loud guitars. Turns out writing about chaos, criminals, and morally questionable life choices isn't all that different from writing songs.

I started CRIMENET because too much gaming coverage feels afraid to have an opinion. Reviews become press releases, every game is "solid," and somehow everyone leaves happy except the reader.

Not here.

CRIMENET covers crime, heist, villain, and horror games, alongside the occasional film or series that earns a place in the criminal underworld. Not the heroic kind. The kind where you rob banks, build empires, betray your crew, or become the monster everyone else is trying to survive.

I don't do review scores. The internet already has enough people arguing whether a game deserves a 72 instead of a 71, like they're negotiating a hostage release over a single percentage point. I'd rather tell you what the game actually feels like to play and whether it's worth your time.

Every article is built on research, evidence, and an unhealthy intolerance for mediocre game design.

 

Strong opinions are welcome. Invented facts are not.

Think less "trusted reviewer."

More "your inside man in the digital underworld."

I'm not here to save the world.

I'm here to tell you which crimes are worth committing. 🤘
