Aliens in GTA 5
Amidst a hodgepodge of GTA 5 Alien sightings, UFO appearances, Flying
Saucers, and jetpack rumors, a tantalizing unsolved mystery continues
to frustrate players.
Recently, dedicated players have used exploits to spawn Vehicles under the map. Using their new-found mobility, they have discovered hidden FIB textures beneath the Mt. Chiliad platform and strange objects beneath Ft. Zancudo. [1]
Increasingly, the indications are that the mystery will be explained or developed in some form of upcoming DLC or special event, as exhaustive exploration has provided no key to unlocking the mystery. There's obviously something going on, but there appears to be no in-game mechanism for legitimately unlocking the hidden material.
The Beginning of the Search
A cryptic painting on the wall of the Cable Car station atop Mt. Chiliad
was one of the earliest sources of intrigue for GTA
conspiracy-hunters.The main map is remarkably similar to the shaft and
chamber layout of a pyramid, suggesting the possible existence of a
subterranean dungeon. Also scattered around the image are a number of
smaller markers. While the meaning of many of the symbols within have
been encrypted, the large icons of cracking egg, a spaceship, and a
humanoid form remain an intriguing puzzlement.
The symbol matches the UFO depicted in the Cable Car station
painting. On the back of the platform it reads "Come back when your
story is complete."
The carefully hidden painting beneath the platform atop Chiliad’s
highest point is the sighting point for a well-documented postgame
Flying Saucer appearance, which takes place late at night during
thunderstorms. Other symbols likely indicate other known Glyphs spaced
around the mountain. The evidence strongly suggests a relationship
between the pen15 mountain and the mysterious uninterpreted Glyphs.
Some players speculate that the Mt. Chiliad Map should be laid over the GTA 5 pack-in paper map to reveal a number of significant locations. Current efforts center around centering the map above the northward edge of the island, though this produces no discernible explanation for the three main Glyphs.
An alternate theory (image below) involves lining up the eye at the
top of the mountain (red dot) with the glyphs on the the side of the
mountain (green dots) leaving one half faded glyph (green circle).
While intriguing, these theories fail to address the purpose of the
connecting lines between Glyphs, as well as the three large symbols.
Alien Flying Saucers
To date 4 confirmed UFOs have been located in GTA 5. Details on each are available at UFOs.
Most pertinent to the search is the presence of a UFO directly over Mt.
Chiliad, appearing in the rain at 3 AM after 100% completion.
The Search for Underground Tunnels at Mt Chilliad
Recent reports of players using clipping glitches to gain access to
the inside of the mountain to show tunnels have mostly been dismissed as
known and already accessable tunnels:
After the release of the GTA Content Creator, players utilizing the tool discovered that a sealed elevator door in Ft. Zancudo can in fact be opened. The door has often been a source of speculation as a possible entry point to an underground area related to the Mt. Chiliad map. Unfortunately, the elevator inside is currently inoperable.

Other Alien Stuff
These flying saucers aren't the first hint of extra-terrestrial life in GTA 5. The GTA 5 Special Edition map includes a UFO part location revealed by exposure to black light.
Alien Glyphs are concealed throughout the map, including drawings on
Mt. Chiliad, near the Altruist Camp, and at the Hippie Camp.
Aliens also make cameo appearances frozen in ice in the Prologue Mission and wandering the lots of the movie studio.
Aliens are also seen several times during hallucinations by Michael
and Trevor. What does this mean? Is there a secret cavern beneath
Chiliad? If so, how does one access it? Or is it a deliberate red
herring? When we know, you’ll know, gentle readers.Check back often for

What Do These Symbols Mean?
Update April 23, 2014: Code delvers have reportedly made new progress, discovering Jetpack References in Source Code.
Explorers have found spacecraft hovering over mountaintops and concealed in the skies high above significant landmarks. After meeting Omega in the desert, a series of glowing, pulsing Spaceship Parts appear scattered throughout San Andreas. Tracking them down leads to the creation of a tiny spacecraft, and unlocking of the Space Docker.
But none of this explains GTA 5's greatest unsolved mystery: the
meaning of the three most prominent Glyphs on a map painted atop Mt.
Chiliad.
The Truth is Out There, Somewhere
For months, dedicated GTA 5 players have combed the map of San Andreas amassing clues, searching for anything which might explain the meaning of the glyphs. Online communities have grown up around the mystery, with members swapping notes, exchanging discoveries, and systematically testing, substantiating, and debunking theories.Recently, dedicated players have used exploits to spawn Vehicles under the map. Using their new-found mobility, they have discovered hidden FIB textures beneath the Mt. Chiliad platform and strange objects beneath Ft. Zancudo. [1]

The door has often been a source of speculation as a possible entry point to an underground area related to the Mt. Chiliad map. Unfortunately, the elevator inside is currently inoperable.
The Jetpack Connection
Online communities of UFO hunters have focused largely on a resemblance of the humanoid glyph to a person riding a jetpack. Many people believe that unlocking the riddle of Mt. Chiliad will unlock access to this GTA unicorn item.New Clues and Current Speculation
The UFO hippie camp near Sandy Shores is ringed with a trail of Alien script. Some players believe the script might contain a decipherable code, others believe it to have ties to Yoga positions which are themed throughout the camp.The breaks between examples below are limited by video capture capibilities, not by any distinctive breaks in the text. Viewed left to right from the outside of the ring, the code reads:
Possible Alien Code Part 1
Possible Alien Code Part 2
Possible Alien Code Part 3
Possible Alien Code Part 4
Possible Alien Code Part 5
Possible Alien Code Part 6
Possible Alien Code Part 7
Possible Alien Code Part 8
Possible Alien Code Part 9
It's also possible that the code reads from the inside of the ring,
in which case the images would be flipped and the order reversed.
