How GTA Online UFO Sightseeing Stage 2 works
Stage 2 follows the twelve days of the first stage. The locations and number of UFOs change daily, and you can photograph UFOs every in-game day. Get too close and thunder with a lightning bolt lights up the sky as the UFO disappears. In a vehicle, the engine cuts out for a moment and the radio fills with static, sometimes jumping between stations.
Before Stage 3 starts, the first twelve UFO locations, except UFO 4, 7 and 9, will all appear at least twice. That gives you a chance to catch up on missed pictures. After Stage 2 comes the final part, Stage 3, where abductions replace the disappearing act.
What you are photographing
The UFOs are a military drone codenamed Project Skylark. It was first spotted in Paleto Bay during the October 2021 Part 2 bonus week, when the Los Santos Meteor reported strange lights that civilians took for a spaceship. In 2023, during the LSA Operations mission Surgical Strike, Los Santos Angels leader Charlie Reed finds proof that the so-called UFOs are drones tested by Merryweather.
