It's most likely just some lighting on the ships.

Or they could be lights... most of them aren't even Braille letters. However, since I have no life, I have chosed to translate what is possible. I have chosen the one on the left and looked to my best ability. Really, the dots aren't even that close to Braille, but I decided to do it anyway. Braille is basically two columns with three possible rows of dots. Dots are placed in different parts of the possible 6 spots to symbolize lettter.

The below is my result for the left side.

e c g b b b I i e i e i e

...so, it's quite apparent we just uncovered all of the mysteries of Halo 3.

It is no Easter Egg, there are no secrets, I, along with others, have debunked any of your theories... it is not Braille... it is a design.

OMG! There are lights on the side of the ship that vaguely resemble braille! It must be braille! It can't be coincidence, Bungie did it on purpose!

No, they're just -blam!-ing lights.

It's not braile. Here is why:

The first section of this so called "Braile" involves 4 dots in one row. Braille is in 6, like a die. (3x3)

O O
O O
O O
Like so.

Therefore... Owned. :) It's just greebles.
Not to mention it goes under the entire ship.. That's a lot of scattered braile. Might be slightly hard to read.

I looked up a braille translator... and it doesnt make any sence to read it sideways cause the the letters dont match up with the dots, but itf you turn you head and read it up toward the nose of the ship, it reads...

9BGCCCO599C9C.....

either its some sort of comp code or passward or something... BUT IT MAKES NO SENCE!!! so yeah, I dont think its really braille....

Could it be some of the mysterious acronyms that Bungie so enjoys using, just to mess with our heads?

I do in fact depending on the ghosts you mean. Seen the vehical many many times and seen like the spiritual ones a couple times.

I do believe I was one of the first to just mention that it looked like Braille on the ship because I was looking at the Braille on Lyca.com(don't go into it). When I translated it a while ago I saw it said nothing but letters so all I said was that it looked like braille.

Normally I would be one to go and try to translate the entire ship as it looks pretty much like most of it is braille but I will leave it up to one of you out there that cares to waste the time with doing it. I said I would not do that much after I got done with the ilovebees.com thing.

I have a rendezvous with death. At some disputed barricade.

E-C-G-B-B-H-E-I-E-B-B

This could be a reference to the acronym mystery.

For those who don't know what this is, here is a summary.

On the inside or outside of the packaging of every game and music CD Bungie has released they have put an acronym. For example IWHBYD was on the packaging of one of Bungie's games. It translates to the famous Halo: Combat Evolved chapter name; I would have been your Daddy... Another is WUBNMH. Which translates to :What up -blam!-, not much Holmes. And in finishing DMUKYA: Don't make us kick your ass.

Here is a link to the Bungie.org compendium:
http://bs.bungie.org/2006/04/the_bungie_acro.html

If it doesn't work for you copy and paste it into your browser then remove the %20 where it pops up in the URL.
