Sonasaurus: Bungie confirmations aside, it is fairly far-fetched. Not only was Six surrounded by several high-ranking Elites at the time of his death, but the entire immediate area, not to mention the entire continent, was occupied by the Imperial Army. And even if he by some act of God managed to survive through this, there's the fact that Covenant aircraft controlled all of Reach's airspace, and that the Imperial Navy enjoyed space supremacy above the planet. There's no reasonably realistic way he could have survived the ordeal and gotten off of the planet before it was glassed.
