I recently got an idea to look up in Google maps if landscape in the trailer resembles actual landscape around Mombasa. Chief is somewhere between Mombasa and Kilimanjaro mountain. There are mostly plains in that area except few ridges - these must be the ridges behind Chief. Now the interesting part. Between the ridges and Mombasa is a circle of differently colored rock with diameter about 20km. It is on exactly same location as the structure in trailer and its size seems correct too. I think that's a bit too unusual to be a coincidence. Seems that Bungie gave the fans another thing to think about :D

There you can see the circle right on Google maps. For some weird reason you may have to refresh the map page before it shows the correct location.

No thoughts whether it's intentional or just a coincidence yet?

Can you take a screen shot of the exact location and post it here? I can't tell from the link where you were looking for this.

I think there's something else in Africa, albeit on the opposite side of the continent, looks much more like the object in the trailor.

Interesting, but weird rocky circle which I found is just where the structure was in the trailer... Here is a picture showing positions of Mombasa, Kilimanjaro, ridges and the circle:

Dude, I've seen that in the game, like, when this weird thing happens in the game, and it doesn't show the map, it shows that picture, but in the bright blue format. And I think you can see it if you look through the Xbox' data. It has like, a question mark or something like that on it.

"Your destruction is the will of the gods, and we are their instruments."

maybe the structure is Mount Kilimanjaro itself!

Yeah totally
That was my first impresion of it
Although come to think of it, it could be some kind of interstellar comunication
Delta halo created a burst of light after the index was taken that travelled up into the colecting mass of charging stuff and created a big bang
It could be some sort of initial contact from that halo to earth
I think that structure in the trailer did the same thing

Sorry if i'm off topic a little

Don't bump.

Now there are many places that can look similar to that trailer along the Great Rift Valley.
