However, it is still unknown if game developers wanted these lights to look like UFOs or not. The blinking lights in the sky could have been designed by game developers to look like airplanes. The purpose of these lights in the game has been a very hotly debated subject within the GTA Community. The player can never catch them, as they fly very fast.

These blinking lights fly faster than any vehicle in the game and they have a very long vapor trail behind them. In GTA San Andreas, there are small blinking lights that can be witnessed flying at a very high altitude at any time of the day.
