I posted this theory earlier today.
The Earth Hides a Halo Under its Crust
I would have to say that this was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the Halo3 Trailer. I believe that there is a Halo aligned with the Earth's equator just below the Earth's crust.
I base this assumption on firstly the appearance of the dome structure itself. It is also mentioned in the Bungie’s Halo3 FAQ “Q: What was that crazy huge dome buried under Earth? A: We're not saying, but Halo fans may recognize something about its design.” Well I reconized it from the outer surface detail of the Halo’s. They without a doubt have this same dome design on their exteriors. You can see this on this official bungie wallpaper entitled “Delta Halo Exterior” located here: http://www.bungie.net/images/games/halo2/wallpapers/H2-Delta_ Halo_Exterior_1600.jpg
Now when I first looked at this image and compared it to the dome in the Halo3 Trailer I first thought that there is far too few of the huge panels that push skyward, Though if you look at the spacing as they seem to be in pairs, and count them. I counted fourteen panels in the Halo3 Trailer. Then now go back to the Delta Halo Exterior image and look at the largest dome structures we count… oh, only twelve. But hang on… if you look at the smaller dome structures now I count fourteen.
Okay. So now I load up Encarta and using its atlas I look for Mombassa in Africa and notice that it lies about 400km south of the equator. Definitely to southward of the equator to align with the larger dome structures and perhaps far to southward to align with the smaller dome structures as well. However just up the road from Mombassa is the town of Voi. Same name from the track titled “Road to Voi” from the second movement of the Epilogue on the Halo 2 Soundtrack. This town is around 280km South of the Equator. So if A Halo’s Equator were aligned with the Earths Equator then the town of Voi would make a likely dig site for this smaller dome structure. Finally the last piece of evidence to back up this theory is that the Earths diameter and a Halo’s diameter are both around 10,000kms. So there we have it we have a WGD (Weapon of Galactical Destruction) buried right here on Earth.
Actually The Earth's Diameter is in fact (12756.34kms at its widest point) larger than Halo's (10044.60kms) and the majority of the Earth's inner Core is Nickel and Iron so it would be extremely hard to detect a Halo under the Earth’s crust using metal scanning as the sole manner of detection.
As for the concept of building a Halo beneath Earth’s surface, I believe it was built somewhere else and then place into the earth. why would a race as advanced as the Forerunners who pioneered and mastered slipspace technology not be able to achieve some sort of slipspace matter exchange system and build this Halo right were the asteroid belt is in our solar system using the available materials in the asteroid fields and then teleporting the completed Halo whilst simultaneously exchanging its volume with the same volume of the Earths crust and then this crust material reappears in place of the newly built Halo amongst the asteroid belt leaving us all none the wiser.
