Subject: Words/Symbols in the Halo 2 Announcement?

I have searched alot of topics and didn't find anything about it.
I was going through the Announcement in VLC Media Player at 0.13 times normal rate and I found somthing interesting, at about 31-32 seconds by the VLC clock there is a series of symbols or words in the blue flash. I have a pic but its really bad, here:

I know its a bit big but I want you to be able to get a good view on it. Also, sorry for the big words in the middle it was hard to find a program. The words are seeable bit its blurry, go look for yourself.
There is like 5 or 6 flashes where you can see the symbols then they're gone but they're not hard to find in slow-mo.
Well, theres my find, feel free to post comments and speculation.

Not to act like i'm making a bump but i'll add some info so it technically isn't.
There are different sized flashes, and some you can see the words more than others. I think that there is MUCH more to the trailer than we might first have anticipated (Sword/sourse, words, various pictures in the blue flashes, etc.)
There are people working in their head around the clock with the story, and I dunno what Bungie is gonna do that hasen't already been said, but i'm sure whatever it is it'll be amazing. This trailer is like Halo 3's ilovebees, i'm sure of it.

I posted this topic at a late in the day time and it rushed past so fast that nobody saw it, and I know this is a bump and against the rules but its a legitimate idea and i'm hoping someone will see it finally. Sorry for the bump, but I want at least ONE reply to this find!

Sly Dude, i went trought the trailer many times and i find that you are right, i tried to read it but i only was able to guess it's a story, mb past and future of the MC that Cortana is talking about, but more future (halo 3), i'll be passing the video again and again to try and see it.

Maybe I'm screwing this up when I copy/paste, but I'm not seeing anything in the link you posted.

I tried finding them on my own, but I couldn't see any words around that time. Is it in made of those blue squares that make up Cortana?

Yes kinda, use VLC media player, its around 31-32 seconds, in others its like 35-36 or somthing, i'll check later.
