You've got to think crazy, of course, because you only get innovation by refining insanity. - Jason Jones

I did a search on google for jason jones, the main man behind halo in case you didn't know, so i click on one of his pictures and it shows a thumbnail of him and a website below him so i check the website out and i find a lot of articles and interviews of bungie employees, like joe staten and jason jones, which is the only interview i have ever seen with jason jones. Well anyway, i got to reading the interviews and found something that backs up my theroy and a man named eagle 117, in this interview joe staten said

So, here's the story of Halo:

It's a couple hundred years in the future. Earth has, people of Earth have, gone out and colonized the galaxy. They made a number of different outposts in one particular region of the galaxy and are doing fairly well until they run into a massive group of aliens called the Covenant.

Now, keep in mind this isn't just one alien. It's actually a conglomeration of different alien races, none of which are particularly nice; on the whole they're especially nasty. They're pretty zealous; they have a lot of really zealous religious fervor. Whenever they come in contact with one of the human outposts they wipe it out utterly without any word, without any warning, a couple cryptic messages, but then they raise the planet in a tremendous firestorm. They're destroying all the human systems and the unfortunate thing is they're getting closer and closer to Earth.

Now we have a final setpiece battle with the aliens at one of the last remaining Human colonies that is not Earth. We get totally obliterated except for one human ship and the commander of this human ship decides that rather than lead the aliens closer and closer to earth that they're going to plot a course to some random destination in the galaxy and lead the aliens away with them.

So, they set this random course, they log it into the computer's AI, the AI blasts them out of the system and oddly enough the entirety of the alien force follows them. Not one ship, not a couple, but every single Covenant battleship follows this one human ship.

Now when this one human ship arrives at this uncharted destination they find a couple cool things in the system. They find a big gas giant planet which has a moon orbiting around it. But inbetween the two things is this ring structure, something they've never seen before. It's 10,000 miles in diameter, it has an atmosphere, it has continents, and it can support life. It's a habitat, you can live on it and the human ship comes into the system, makes these very quick discoveries, but before it can do anything else it's attacked by the Covenant battle fleet and broken into bits. Before the ship is entirely destroyed however the commander of the human ship is able to jettison certain essential supplies, troops that remain alive, vehicles and all these different things land in various places on the Halo ring.

The reason i am posting this i guess is to show people that we did know about halo and that the humans more specifically a man named Coln Ackerson whom i and eagle and a few other people think found this halo and charted it along with possibly others. Sorry if you read this and found it pointless, im just really into halo's story and felt the need to show everyone that humans knew about halo and didn't tell anyone and when cortona went into the database which contain all of mankinds known destinations, she came up with the one that contained a halo in it.

You could be right. After all it is kinda odd how the POA and it's passengers happened to stumble upon an ancient artificial planet, that was created by a race that the Covenant seem to worship. If you ask me, something fishy is going on, and I think Ackerson knows more then he's leading us to believe.
