My ROFLsniper goes POW!

In the Halo 3 :ODST ViDoc at 1:48, did anyone notice the shimmering substance raining down from the sky? I noticed it and started thinking. Could it be snow? I thought probably no. Then my friend mentioned something interesting, dissipating plasma. I thought about that to. I didnt think that could be true because The Prophet of Regret's ship dodnt fire any plasma weapons above the city. Then i thought it could just be mist but it was shimmering, THEN i thought that possibly that scene was after it rained and the static left in the air caused the vapor in the air to liquify and then cool causing it to shimmer with the electricity. Who knows? It could be smoke. I know this isnt really important but its just something that really caught my eye. What do you think it was?
P.S. My apologies for the long read. =}

Go Rams and Missouri!

Or maybe it is snowing. Snow in late October isn't that rare. However, Kenya isn't exactly in the southern part of Africa. Maybe the climate has changed a bit and the planet has gotten colder by 2552.

I would think that was debris flying around, and something destructive occurred in the area. Something Covenant-related had blown up, the radiation still there as debris flies about.

Very nice particle effects, might I add.

My prediction is that the bluish "snow" is actually the fallout from the EMP from Regrets jumping into slipspace over the city. All in flashbash form.

That could be it. It never did show the city right after the EMP so that is a great possibility

My thoughts exactly.

Then it must be from when one of the main ODST's get out of their drop pod, right after the initial drop. Makes perfect sense, I guess.

Do you fear Death?

Pause at 2:28 and you can see the same effects, and in the sky it appears to be the slip space rupture. So I believe Leejum7's theory is correct.
