I love this kind of stuff, I'm going into Archaeology, and exploring stuff like this I find very fascinating.
Yesterday while doing a Co-op I did stumble upon this, I didn't have a pen and pad of paper, and I didn't take any screen shots for further analysis afterwords. The first thing I noticed is that I DIDN'T notice where I was and its significance. Why? The Glyphs are only visible in VISR mode, and my friend noticed them and called me back. That in itself was interesting, and soon after returning to the site, I realized that the "Y" glyphs were not the only ones there. There was a one Superintendent glyph, which looks as though it is expressing sadness.
I started to mentally takes notes of what else I saw. There are two sizes of "Y" Glyphs: Big and Small. When looking at the S.I. Pillar, the Pillars are obviously placed coherently. The S.I. Pillar is the largest, the two pillars to it's sides are the third tallest; the next to are the second and the one behind you is the smallest. Six pillars (which I found almost weird for a Bungie Glitch to not have 7 involved). I don't know if the 3 points of the Glyphs have anything to do with there being 6 Pillars (6 being an interval of 3). The last noticeable feature of the site was that there were dead Elites there.
Since we were there to play the game, we really didn't think much further into it, until we left the courtyard and soon after stumbled into an Alleyway not 100 meters from the site FULL of these Glyphs. I actually think there were more Glyphs than the Stonehenge room. So looked for similarities. The second most obvious was that the Alleyway was littered with Elite bodies. The Third was that AGAIN the Glyphs are seen with VISR mode only.
So, anyway, we again continue and we found yet another glyph, but these are seen everywhere... I didn't realize till then they had the "Y" glyph in it. These are seen near, around, and in EVERY S.I. weapon cache. THAT was a tremendous link, because we knew the S.I. symbol was at the main site, but we didn't think of it till we returned to actually playing the game. The difference is the circular symbols in each open space on the "Y". This might symbolize that these empty spaced "Y" are not the Main Mission, but a side mission. So, here's the TL;DR
1: From initial exploration, Elite bodies are at each site. (There is most likely more than the two we found)
2: The S.I. is the one creating the "Y" Glyphs, which means it is important. BUT the difference in the main Campaigns Glyphs might hint it is just a side mission.
3: There are two different sizes of "Y" Glyphs; maybe each size indicates something different (Small ones can be found in line with each other, Big ones stand alone)
Which brings me to one last point:
I wasn't very sure about this side mission being about swords, but MAYBE because of these Elites, it is a valid possibility. I plan to revisit these sites, take notes, screen shots, and do some exploring some time in the future.
VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE:
We might have found a very disturbing and tremendous find that actually involves, dare I say, dark and fiery references. I'll be keeping you all updated.
