Okay so I'm going to throw out a new theory.

In light of recent events, I think the UNSC was trying to arrest/kidnap the Reds and Blues from the start, not send them to Blood Gulch. But while they were on the ship all of the Reds and Blues caused the ship to crash through totally random events that happened to happen at the same time. This caused the UNSC to precieve them as a HUGE threat, and told one of their best agents (Locus) Not to engage and to observe only because the UNSC thought the crash was caused on purpose and it was expertly timed by the Reds and Blues.
