The most famous 'UFO proof' in GTA San Andreas is literally just a ceiling fan.

For nearly two decades, myth hunters have cited a game file called 'ufolight.dff' as definitive proof of alien UFOs in San Andreas. In reality, the UFOLIGHT model is just the rotating ceiling fan inside the Lil' Probe Inn alien bar — not a UFO at all. The actual sky lights use a completely different particle texture called 'coronastar.' The misidentification has persisted in the myth hunting community since the early 2000s.
