OK I've seen a lot of threads about this and I haven't read them al so if this idea has been posted already my bad... In the short documentary the structure is quoted as a forrunner structure. The only other forrunner structures that we've been told about are the HALOs and the "training grounds", otherwise known as the multiplayer map Wizard. At the end of HALO 2 Delta Halo fired off a blue signal that the Ark was supposed to respond to. At that same time Master Chief was landing on Earth in the Forrunnner ship, Delta Halo was sending out a signal for the Ark. First I believe that the structure is definately the Ark, and secondly that the giant blue beam is the Ark's response to put all the Halos on remote standby. Just my thought.
Oh, and on the documentary, that "new alien" is a grunt, it has oversized elbows, a hunch, and a mask... again, just what I think.
