alot of people seem to thiink that the structure in the trailer is a revealed section of a buried halo. theres a reason why I think this isnt likely,

We're told the crater is three miles in diameter, when you take that into consideration and look at the craters depth reative to its diameter it doesnt look to be anywhere near a mile in depth.if the structure was a halo, wrapped around the earth and buried at this depth beneath the surface,then the halo would be far closer to the surface than the beds of the earths oceans and the halo would be visible in the sea, it wouldnt be buried beneath the sea bed because the sea bed is far deeper.

sorry if this has been brought up already

i didnt think that it was in the first place but you raise a valid point

it is a valid point. but the guy who came up wit the theory ( i cant remember his name) had a sh1t load of evidence that proved mathematically sound i guess. but there was somethin wrong with the theory, and i dont believe it as a result. it would add a nice twist tho.

but the sea is very deep and u cant see very far in the ocean (depth)

exactly the sea is very deep but the structure isnt, itd be very close to the surface and probably visible, if it wasnt visble to the eye soembody would find it, either through sonar or submersibles or something, an object that size at that shallow depth beneath the ocean wouldnt go unseen.

any1 reckon there are multiple "artifacts" on earth which could be the ark (i.e. the whole planet)

I agree with the Halo not under the surface. The guy who made this theory didn't explain techtonic activity very well either. After thousands of years, don't you think the Halo would have been torn apart due to the shifting plates in the Earth's crust? I sure as hell do.

And in year 2552, I think scientists would have known about a freakishly huge Halo ring under Earth's surface.

Another thing supporting my neglect of the theory is that if the Halos need rotation and spin, then the supposed Halo in the Earth would be horizontal due to the rotation of the Earth (which is in a horizontal spin that of a basketball on a finger.) Now, if there was a Halo, then it would be below the surface near the Equator, due to the location of New Mombasa. That means if would be under three major continents, making it nearly impossible for the average scientist to miss.

I'm not that active, but never dead.

Don't forget all the sesmic sensors that gauge earth quakes and such. During earthqakes something like that would interfere with sesmic waves and they would notice it, even without the ocean.

A lot of people like to think that they know what they're talking about.


but, it's all speculation.

We'll see eventually.

Well, one thing is sure: it wouldn't make a helluva lot of sense if the equator was a buried Halo...

yea i never thought it was either. i mean. sure there is no reason why they couldnt but has anyone seen either of the other halos open up in that way? If thats what the covenant were trying to do than they would have done it with the others too. That and the other points made here are pretty good evidence that it isnt a halo. I always thought it will end up to be the arc.

Halo is not buried under anything, there are 7 rings, all in space, as told by the monitor in halo 2
