a scrap CD some distance away, hidden from view,
just catching the sun through a chink in the curtain.

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

Time image (probably) taken : 2011:03:22 13:50:49


Could be (from the EXIF info). Could also be the time it was
Photoshopped and saved. Any way to tell which one it was?

What's caused that then? Hil's cut glass whatnot on the windowsill?

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.

It could well be that after I took the pic I waited a while before
posting. Just to cause confusion...

Unusually, I didn't Photoshop it, other than opening it and saving it
with a different name. I'm a bugger with the Photoshop, but this time
there was no need.

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.

Sounds very much like a fault I was called in on when I was working on
microfilm / fiche stuff for Kodak.

Spurious 'aberrations' that kept randomly appearing on the film on an
A0 copy table. Turned out to be radiations from a cut glass broach.
;-)

Not quite as common and the cheque's that would suddenly appear to
stop in a machine for no reason. How do they get the clear body of a
ball point pen (without the tip / ink) /inside/ a filmer ... ?

Nuclear power? guaranteed 99.99 per cent safe, 'we've thought of every
possible eventuality that could possibly go wrong'...
