The flash i saw was indeed a aknowledgement flash. It wasn't a reflection, here is why.
The reflections that you do see are indeed very, VERY clear due to bungies awesome graphics. The particular light i am talking about is in the upper left portion of his visor AS WE SEE IT, meaning from our POV (this can be a split sec before banshees come in)
This was not lightning. If it had been, it would have been brighter and far more clear, but the flash looked blurry and muffled, as if it had reflected off his skin in his visor. This shows the light came from INSIDE his visor.
So even though we don't know who is truly in the banshees, we do know that he is communicatiing with them. I thought spartans because that light was used as a communication between the spartan teams. And around 3 Sparts are still left (not sure of exact #) so it could be very possible that more spartans are in the game.
Like someone mentioned earlier, they did a op like this in the books. Flew over a covenant armie, but once the covies tried to message them and the spartans didn't respond, a battle ensued. Linda, i think it was her, was on top of her banshee "surfing" with a portable nuke in her hands. While Fred and i think John held offf the covies, she through the port nuke up the grav lift into the ship, then they booked it out of there and created the largest frag bomb in history.
Banshees and MC are friendly. We know this now.
