Beam Me Up[1] (also known as Silent Probe Mountain[2]) is an art installation featured in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.

Description[]

It covers the northwest facing side of a hill in the south-east corner of Sandy Shores, Blaine County within the Senora National Park, at the end of a dirt road near a short rail tunnel. There are large tanks with arrows on signs located elsewhere in the desert pointing roughly to where the hill is and one on-site pointing to Mount Chiliad.

Beam Me Up consists of a large decorated hillside. It appears to occupy a dis-used quarry previously known as Senora Quarry[3]. It is inhabited by a congregation of hippie alien enthusiasts. Accommodation on site consists of a couple of tents and a large trailer.

There are a few vehicle wrecks in the area including a beater Regina on blocks with a fake UFO model on the roof, a Gypsy Truck that resembles a Yankee), both used as decorative props, and a Rancher rusted wreck. There is a cement mixer and paint cans throughout the site indicating the occupants are constantly re-painting the works to counteract the harsh desert elements, just like the real life site.

The Sandy Shores UFO spawns directly above this location.

Collectibles[]

Grand Theft Auto V[]

  • One of the 50 spaceship parts can be found here just to the south of the "Beam Me Up" wording.

Grand Theft Auto Online[]

  • One of the 100 Action Figures (an alien) can be found on the hood of the wrecked Regina.

Influence[]

It is based on Salvation Mountain, California, with the notable exception of containing pleas for salvation from Earth made to aliens rather than a particular religious deity. The two modified vehicle wrecks are references to two similar vehicles that appear near its real life counterpart. Game file models are named salvationm or variations/abbreviations thereof[4], further emphasizing the real life influence of the area.

Above the wrecked Regina is the alphanumeric code "6EQUJ5", which is a direct reference to the Wow! Signal.

The name is a reference to Star Trek, the often-misquoted "Beam me up, Scotty" phrase attributed to James T. Kirk when wanting to be transported back to the Starship Enterprise.
