Subject: Mysterious BOBs... Have you seen them around or am I seeing things?

A few days ago, I was playing Nightfall on easy difficulty. Nothing special. At a checkpoint, i scoped with my sniper and what do you know, a juicy golden Elite Ranger was sitting there. So I sniped it. Again, nothing special, no biggy.

Moving on,
I passed that checkpoint with no difficulty, and went ahead to the next checkpoint. This is where things get weird...

As i was running along, a Moa fell from the sky. Another one quickly appeared, but then vanished almost instantly right in front of me. I came around the corner, and scoped on my sniper, focusing on a fat blue Elite Minor on the roof of a building. With my mouth drooling for blood, I almost pulled the right trigger, but then I noticed something out to the side of my screen. BOBs are only meant to spawn once per level, right? Well, next to this blue Minor, was a golden Elite Minor. No, not a Ranger, or even a white Minor, but a gold one. I checked in the temporary history theatre files the next day, but couldn't find the replay file. So, I have no solid evidence.

Somewhere inside of me there is a spark of hope that I have made a discovery. Maybe it was a glitch, I dunno. All that I do know, is that that Elite Minor was gold.

Please respond if you have any ideas or have possibly once seen this gold Minor.

Cheers.

Could've been a Spec-Ops guy from the back. They're sort of bronzish. And the disappearing Moa is always there...

This sig will Self-Destruct in 3.... 2.... 1.... Thank you for your time. Cookie?

Just so you know, that disappearing Moa is always there. It's a glitch because that's from the last data from the previous area, and you skipping through everything is forcing the game to hard reset all the data and load the new one, which causes it to be taken out from existance.

And it may have been a lighting error on your part. You really should try it again if you want to give us some proof.

I'll try to find it again. I know it would be very difficult to believe me, especially since I have no proof, but I know what I saw.

I guess you could be right about the lighting part. Maybe some lighting glitch on that Elite.

I didn't think the gold Ranger was anything special, or the "gold" Minor for that matter, so I didn't save it. I only found about the BOBs the next day or two later.

It's not that I'm crazy... It's just that, you're not as far out there as I am.

What difficulty were you playing on? It might've been an Elite General and you mistook it for a minor.

SpiderChief, I was playing easy difficulty. The "gold" Minor had no horn on its head. It was identical to the blue Minor next to it.
