Yes and it looks like a slow revelation of a nifty (air?) vehicle of some sort. Once it's revealed I'm sure there will be a bungie update discussing it.

I noticed that too, and quickly ran here to see if it might be a trailhead or something. I wasn't sure if the text above the image might have something to do with what may or may not be hidden in the image:

>FILE ENCRYPTION/1SF021402141. -ES
>DECRYPTION KEY: CLASSIFIED/"UNSCSF"/
>DECODING TRANSMISSION
>ETA 777601 SECONDS�

>DECRYPTION 81% COMPLETE...

At any rate, with Halo 3 and Halo Wars just around the corner (and considering the success of ilovebees), one has to think that there's another ARG in the works...especially given Peter Jacksons secret project that's hinted to be a game, but not really.

To me it looks like one of 2 things:

-A variant of a Covenant Phantom dropship... but this is unlikely since Halo Wars pre-dates the events in Halo, but the Phantom started to be used only in Halo 2.
-An armed variant of a Human Pelican Dropship.

Esteed

It could, perhaps, be an early prototype of the Phantom, or some variant design that the Covenant later streamlined and renamed the Phantom. Although I will say it does remind me much more of a human design, with obvious touches from contemporary designs. To me it just seems a little too blocky to be Covenant, but I could be wrong.

Yes, a new Halo Wars vehicle (no comment as to whether it will appear in Halo 3)

Case Closed. It was a fancy way of showing a new vehicle. NEXT.
