The Shrouded Sky update has arrived in Arc Raiders, and Embark is throwing us a curveball. Today's patch introduced a hurricane map condition, two new Arc enemies, and some meaningful balancing changes, but the masterminds in Sweden snuck something else in, too.

Some players are spotting a UFO in the shrouded skies, a broad aircraft with a W-shaped silhouette emitting a pair of blue energy streams toward the ground. Here's the brief encounter recorded by Reddit user Bewarden:

"What in tarnation is that?" Bewarden asks. Whatever it is, it's probably not friendly. Some theorized that the pair of lights indicates two Arc flying next to each other, but if you throw the clip in fullscreen and look closer, we're clearly looking at one huge aircraft.
