I'm sure I'm not the only one to ask, but I looked on forums and haven't found anything yet.
Today while patrolling Mars; I took a peek at my radar and found there was an icon of something that looked like a chest on it, so I naturally walked to the location and saw nothing, I looked all around and when I looked back to the radar, the icon disappeared.
(Happened twice in different locations)
I don't know if this was there pre patch, I may be a noob and just now noticing this. But what is it?
[spoiler] I also have another question: While patrolling earth, I received a scrambled transmission from an unknown sender that made me figure out what it said. It sent me on challenges to:
Get precision kills (precision kills)
Dance (feelings expressed)
Kill enemies ( alien enemies killed)
It took a while to figure them out but once I completed them, Nolanbot said something about knowing what the message said and not knowing who it was from... What the heck is going on? [/spoiler]
I'm on 360 and couldn't take a picture in time before
Icons disappeared... Sorry

Did you kill anything with the Hakke Pulse Rifle while you saw the chest icon? If so that means there's a chest in the area (could be in a cave, on top of something, etc); Enhanced Radar improves the radar while also showing nearby nodes such as chests or materials. Other than the pulse rifle buffing your radar that I have no idea why you saw a chest icon. For the transmission, its a new patrol event/mission that they added. The other one I can think of is the driving patrol mission (requires you to drive your sparrow through blue nodes around the area, be quick cause the percentage drains as you drive). A number of people have run into them and asked. The others I heard about were on the Divide as well as Campus 9.
