This Is The Way The World Ends

Last week a giant circular cloud, nicknamed a “Halo cloud” due to the roundish shape, appeared over the city of Moscow (the video of which is located after the jump). UFO enthusiasts everywhere are convinced it was an unidentified aerial phenomenon however if you’ve played through The Storm level of Halo 3′s campaign, I’m sure you’ll recognize its true existence as quickly as I did. I’m calling it now: next up is rain, cloud-to-cloud lightning, and then a brilliant blue beam will open the portal to the Ark. Get ready, the Flood are coming. And I don’t mean of the water variety either.
Infection forms for everybody!!
I say bring it on! I have Sniper ready and AK-47 ready and I am ready to go!
Lol, an AK-47? Drastic for a funny shaped cloud and the possibility of the destruction of the galaxy.
*cough*
snipers dont work against the flood according to the book Halo: The Flood.
yay! im a super geek!
OMG about 3 months ago I saw what looked to be a trangler shape aircraft and when I blink it was gone! I ran in my house screaming! So I am really Scared! We are so Screwed!
Please shut up. You’re disturbing my peace.
DON’T TOUCH MY FUCKING BUBBLE.
I would probably shit my pants if I ever actually saw something like that.
Not even joking, I would probably poop myself. I honestly believe that that is how I would react.
I got my shotty ready!
Someone wake up Master Cheif
We Need Him!
That was a -WIN- call.
Fetch my wand.
I am going after Cortana!
Watch out for dropping Elites, lol.
I calz teh Enegy Sord!
I thought these were already called “lens” clouds
no they’re called portals. get it right!!! :P
It’s not like it’s a new phenomenon, dahlin.

Look, UFOs!
OMG! O_O
Ahhh Motherland!
(a subtle quote)
WTF mate?
Meanwhile Mars is laughing at us.
Fucking kangaroos.
Will a certain dinsaur ask a retarded question considering his experiences with the Flood?
More Brutes?
No, worse.
*adjusts AR*
sad… video has been removed
I’ll try to dig up another one. :)
Yay! You rock!
Kinda creepy…
My god. Obama, the Prophet of Hope, has truly led us astray with the firing of the Ark :)
aw, i LIKE that!
have you seen any banshee? No? So, i conclude it’s a FAKE!
Well duh!!!! The flood never piloted banshees!
:O I’d love to have something cool to look at like this as I’m staring out the window in Creative Writing class…
“This is ONI recon 111 there are covanent carriers gathered above the crater”
“But the digsite is arcoss the city”
“What did truth just do? did he activate the rings?”
All apply
LOL I thought the same thing when I saw this on yahoo news. It really does resemble the storm on Halo 3.
It does, very much! It popped into my Google Alerts and at first I thought, “Hey, cool cloud!” which quickly switched to, “OMGWTFRUN4URLIVES!”
holy crap…..
Is this new, i’ve never heard of this before n they dont teach these in school.
n y moscow?
1. No, it has happened before. Someone above you posted a link to an old painting with these clouds in it.
2. It is completely, randomly in Moscow. It could happen anywhere else, but that’s just where it did this time. No, i don’t think it’s common in Russia, either.
There’s a simple solution to this.
“Tank beats everything!”
Cellblock, tank doesn’t beat the Flood that’s gonna come.
…wait, they didn’t use tanks against the Flood in Halo 3, did they…?
Well they did in 2, but then those machines just picked them up and ate them…
But that’s like.. not really Flood. >_>;;
Sigh.
Lets just leave it at Tank Beats Everything, hmm?
Jackass got lost. New Mombasa they were looking for, ended up in Moscow. Come on ya dumb apes!
Never let a brute pilot a starship. He’ll just get lost and and he’s too stubborn to ask for directions.
Brute-Haters unite!
hoorah!
Cool looking cloud, yo.
We are so screwed.
Prepare for drop, Chief and ODST’s are coming!
OMG I saw a Triangler Space Craft 3 months ago! Here is the freaky part I blink it’s gone! So I ran in my house screaming! So i am pretty scared! We are so screwed!
Just a question:
Do you EVER get sick of getting “thumbs-down”ed?
WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Halo is accutaly REAL?!?!?! That is awsome Bungie you made the Brutes mad now their going to KILL US!
Huh. Well, if that does turn out to be a Slipspace rupture, we are BEYOND SNAFU. Dude, Halo is freaking 2552, with energy shielding, super main battle tanks, faster than light travel, SPACESHIPS, plasma and laser weaponry that doesn’t require a light vehicle to lug around, and the humans were STILL getting their @$$ dragged across the floor! It’s freaking 2009! The least the Covenant can do is wait for our silly little “Apocalypse scenario” and coincide with 2012. I mean, c’mon. Lol
That is what the flood weather is like in Halo!
Honestly, Jake, I can’t tell if you’re trolling, or just 12 and forgot to take your ritalin…
…so just in case, let’s not feed the troll.
I was telling the truth! But we all need to work together to stop the Flood or Covenent Or BOTH! Or we could pick the 2 choice! 2 choice is we all DIE! So guys lets stop fighting and kick so alien ASS!
Your right 2012 we might be more screwed and life on Earth could end! And one more thing guys the scientists comfired the planets will aline on Dec. 21, 2012!
Just a quick fact about that: The planets align every year!
@ Jake:
*HALO ANNOUNCER GUY*
POSTROCITY!
Why is that not a more popular phrase!
Just remember this, if you here some squeaky voices, and then a deep voice say “No inapropriate touching!” you know your screwed.
THE FLOOD ARE COMING!! ODSTs Prepare to drop “HALO 3:ODST Theme’
i already got my sniper
all i need is a br(:

“Meh”, just a cloud….*flood start gnawing on head*, AHHHHHHHHHH……
Aww, it’s just a little rain….

by the way: when I get mutated into a bubbly yellow mass and have no control over myself, I HAVE NO REGRETS!!!!!!!! except eating that turd i found in a forest. Nom!!!
Why would Russia be worried about a Flood (zombie variety) apocalypse? All they need to do is nuke the place and bam, job done.
*pulls the plug out of his shotgun and loads it up*
Bring it, bitches!
Am I the only one thinking that our only chance to survive is to hold off at Mombasa and hope that Master Chief arrives 500 years early?
Glass Moscow? Hell! Let’s glass all of Russia, just to be safe.
