What happened
During the 2004 North Yankton prologue, detour off the escape route to the frozen river, walk out under the bridge, and look down: a grey alien is entombed in the ice beneath your feet. It was among the first secrets players found in 2013, and it set the tone that this map would bury things everywhere.
Why it matters
Its placement is the statement: Rockstar put an alien under the ice of a level most players see once, in the game's opening minutes, knowing someone would look.
