Perhaps the Covenant have realised their mistake and they're all rushing to try and stop whoever is activating it. Then they can't reach the person in time, activation, they start to run away.
And for Covenant Capital Ships they're pretty slow moving.
And it is lighting, you can see in his visor the tornado in the clouds and the first flash comes from there. Then the next few flashes come from outside the cloud tornado, just as it is shown from MC's point of view.
Imagine that, the whole Covenant armada rushing into stopping what they have started. You can feel the sense of it at the 1 minute 20 second mark of the trailer.
Also the lightning flashes can also be seen at 1:02 into the trailer. So if they were acknoledgment lights they wouldn't take the "other Spartans" 20 seconds to ackonledge and order.
Do you think Chief can see Cortana? And if not, why do you think Bungie put that in then? Besides teasing people.
