Aliens in GTA San Andreas: Difference between revisions

cleaning up half for now, area 69 was known before the game came out, CIA was never mention in the game, blinking lights as flying rods?

The '''UFO myth''' appeared quite early in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] and though it is not so popular at the moment, there still are people looking for it.
The '''UFO myth''' appeared quite early in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]. It revolves around unidentified flying objects, aliens associated to them, and their possible locations. Even though the existence of UFOs are false, people are continuing looking for them.


==Overview==
==Overview==
It is believed that the myth originated when [[Area 69]] was discovered. The player is only granted "legal" access to Area 69 in [[Black Project|one mission]], where the player has to find and steal a [[Jetpack]].
The myth may have been started when several clues and instances appear to indicate the existence of UFos, especially the blinking orbs seen in the night sky. There is no evidence of any "traditional" aliens or flying saucers existing in the game. The only known UFO is the fake one spinning on a pole outside the [[Lil' Probe Inn]]. The Inn has started multiple speculations about possible areas where UFOs can be seen. If the player goes down the back behind the counter they will see a small room with a radio transmitter, computer, pictures of UFOs, and a map on the wall with 11 dots marking the map. The dots are most likely pins, as there are four located in the corners of the map. The map may have marked UFO sightings. The same map is located at [[Mike Toreno]]'s ranch. Nothing suspicious has been found regarding the map, it is believed that it is there only for decorative purposes and to create the atmosphere. It could be an included easter egg by Rockstar Games, as it is a prerelease map, evidenced by the massive differences in land forms. There are some pictures on the walls in the bar itself - all of them featuring real-life pictures.
 
However, there is no evidence of any aliens or flying saucers in the game. The only known UFO is the fake one on a pole outside the [[Lil' Probe Inn]]. The Inn has started multiple speculations about possible areas where UFOs can be seen. If the player goes down the back behind the counter they will see a small room with a radio transmitter, computer and a map on the wall with 11 dots on it. Four dots are believed to be the pins, as they are located in the 4 corners of the map, where nothing significant is located, while the other seven look like they are marks on the map. The same map is located at [[Mike Toreno]]'s ranch, which made people believe that he is somehow connected with the aliens. Nothing suspicious has been found regarding the map, it is believed that it is there only for decorative purposes and to create the atmosphere. It could be an included easter egg by Rockstar Games, as it is a possible Beta map, evidenced by the massive differences in land forms. There are some pictures on the walls in the bar itself - some feature locations within [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]] with a UFO seen in the sky, while others are real-life pictures (e.g. one has got Orthodox church domes on it - suggesting that the picture was taken in the real-life city of Moscow).

The only appearance of the aliens is in the mission [[Green Goo]], and inside of the game files. Internal files reveal the name of the TXD is <code>greengoo.TXD</code>. And the textures are named <code>alien_liquid</code>, <code>alien_glass</code>, and <code>alien_cont2</code>. Also in the mission "Stowaway" it is belived that the goverment agents are Aliens.

==Central Intelligence Agency==
== Blinking sky lights ==
During the mission [[Stowaway]] the player is instructed to bomb an [[Andromada]] plane being used to drop explosives into the middle east. While on board the plane the crew will utter strange phrases whilst attacking the player. Some of the phrases are "you evolved from shrews", "this endangers everything", "carbon based buffoon", "idiotic mammal", "this doesn't concern you", and "the great day will come". These agents may not actually be the CIA, but are suggested to be. They don black suits with black ties, and black sunglasses. Their design is like that of the agents in the Men in Black series. Internal files reveal they are in fact modeled after them. Their model locations are <code>bmymib and wmomib in gta3.img</code>. They appear first in the mission [[Interdiction]]. It should also be noted they also have ownership of a [[Huntley]], [[Bobcat]] and a [[Maverick]] which are also completely black. Some fans of the Matrix series have used these models as agents in mods, as they almost perfectly fit the bill.
In the night sky, players can see blinking lights in various colors with streaming lines behind them. They had existed in since GTA III and has appeared in every GTA games since then, except GTA Advance and GTA Chinatown Wars. These blinking lights are merely simulations of high-altitude flying aircrafts at night. Because of the possibility of being able to reach extreme heights and air speeds in GTA San Andreas and GTA IV, many players have misinterpreted them as alien UFOs.

== Men in Black ==
During the mission "[[Stowaway]]," [[Mike Toreno]] instructs [[Carl Johnson]] to destroy an [[Andromada]] plane carrying explosives for use in the Middle East. Toreno claimed that they are from another government department that supplies weapons to other countries. While on board the plane the crew will utter strange phrases whilst attacking the player, including: "you evolved from shrews", "this endangers everything", "carbon based buffoon", "idiotic mammal", "this doesn't concern you", and "the great day will come". These agents is based on the agents from [[wp:Men in Black (film)|Men in Black series]]. They don black suits with black ties, and black sunglasses, and own black vehicles such as the [[Huntley]], [[Bobcat]] and a [[Maverick]]. Their model names are <code>bmymib</code> and <code>wmomib</code>, suggesting that they are indeed based on the MIBs. They appear first in the mission [[Interdiction]].

Line 67: Line 73:
The Paranoid Cowboy is a [[Pedestrians|pedestrian]] found walking around [[The Big Ear]], [[Fort Carson]], inside [[The Big Spread Ranch]], and inside the [[24/7]] food market. This pedestrian model can only spawn one at a time in each location, however. This pedestrian is very hard to miss. He wears brown cowboy boots, blue jeans, a blue and white checkered flannel shirt, black sunglasses, and a large cowboy hat. He also has a light brown beard and has a cigarette in his mouth. Apparently he has a look-alike, making it rather hard to identify him, the only difference is his voice, the Paranoid Cowboy speaks with no particular accent and his look-alike speaks with a heavy country accent (also shared with another pedestrian). There isn't much to tell about the Paranoid Cowboy other than beyond making comical remarks, he is jokingly paranoid of being abducted by aliens. This is apparent by the remarks he makes about [[Carl Johnson]]'s appearance. He will say to CJ: "you won't abduct me, no you won't" and "boy, you sure make a good target for them." He is presumed to be talking about aliens when saying "them".

==Flying Rods/Skyfishes==

There is no proof of UFOs existence in the game, apart from some clues such as radio conversations, game scripts and pedestrian conversations. In the night red and yellow lights can be seen zooming through the sky. Though there are two models in the game named UFO_light02 and 03, but when extracted and viewed, these are just hanging roof lights with wide triangular shades.
 
Nevertheless, there is another object, which could have been placed by Rockstar themselves. It looks like a black meteor falling from the very top of the screen and disappears behind the horizon. They can usually be seen in the desert area or in Red County when facing the desert.
 
There are no ideas on what it could possibly be, neither is there anything that can somehow relate to it. The search is still going on, although many people are not familiar with it.
 
At one occasion a similar object was seen - it looked like an old hand-grenade and had a small exhaust fumes tail behind it; it moves very fast and it is impossible to trace where it came from or where it has landed.
 
It is not possible to follow the skyfish ( without using the "flying car cheat" ) because of it being extremely fast.
