Doesn't it look odd? It turned out to be a scrap CD some distance away,
hidden from view, just catching the sun through a chink in the curtain.
I honestly couldn't figure it out for a while.

A number of years ago when I was connected with the TV service industry, a
lady brought into the shop a portable television with a white plastic
cabinet, which because of the number of holes in it somewhat resembled a
piece of Swiss cheese.
She told the receptionist that she couldn't for the life of her understand
how it had happened, it looked just like someone had repeatedly poked it
from the outside with a red hot metal rod, as the plastic had dripped on the
inside of the cabinet, because the TV lived in her son's bedroom the
suspicion was that maybe he was some kind of closet weirdo and knew more
about the mystery than he was telling, at the time it appeared to be the
only kind of logical explanation that anyone could think of.
However, the mystery was solved some months later when she rang the shop to
tell them that she had discovered the cause of the problem, this turned out
to be one of those misshapen glass paperweight ornaments, which was kept on
a windowsill, one sunny day she noticed that it was radiating numerous
bright beams of well focused light onto the TV cabinet, fortunately it
wasn't anything combustible, which could have resulted in a nasty fire.

So that's where all the ink goes, as it's certainly not to paper. Often
wondered.

What's even stranger is the sun shining at 0255 in the morning (time of
your OP)!
