A fresh update hit Fortnite on July 21 and dataminers have found a bunch of new content that should be coming to the battle royale soon. The biggest discovery includes a new spaceship crash site location that comes with a unique set of challenges.
The Ancient Astronaut, a character in the Fortnite universe, is going to crash land his ship on the outskirts of the map. The water level, which has already been decreasing throughout the season, will recede further to reveal the crash site. You can see an image of the ship below:

New challenges that involve the crash site and the Ancient Astronaut were also uncovered, although it's unclear what they all mean. All the challenges point to launching the ship, except for the last one which tasks players with stopping a launch. Here are all the challenges:
