What.... the hell is this...?

First off, Happy New Year everyone!! Another year closer to the end of the world (no, I don't really believe in that). Now, thread topic GO!
Ok, so due to the fact that UT3 isn't working ATM, I decided to download Ballistic Weapons and play Onslaught with them. I was being normal, having fun, when I see this... thing.
It was sitting idle next to ONS-RedPlanet's middle node. I saw it from a Raptor and I thought "The hell is that?". I approached the object. At first, it didn't do anything. I shot it a few times, but nothing happened. Then it budged. I stood back from it. It was idle again. I got back into the Raptor and flew up to continue observing it. The blue team had just started building their node in place of ours. All of a sudden, the thing up and moved into where the node was. I landed again and went after it. I thought it was a weird looking bot on the Blue Team. Nope, it was just... there. I destroyed the node and tried to "kill" the object. It began floating into the air and I went after it in the Raptor. A Blue Team guy shot me down so I playersonly'd everything and used the Fly cheat to go up to it. I began to observe it again when suddenly, I remembered that I could take screenshots:

I have no idea what the hell this thing is. Judging by the time, it seems to have appeared at exactly 2 hours (what can I say, I was having fun) since I literally observed it for two minutes since it appeared.
Is it a glitch? An Easter Egg? New Years present? Who knows? But it really freaked me out. I have never seen it until now. Perhaps it was coded into Ballistic Weapons? If you've seen this thing before, please tell me.
