Unintentional reflections caused by the Leica Ultra Violet/Infra Red filter
(LUVIR) would be my guess as well. No manipulation to the image. It makes a
nice if inaccurate image of an unusual occurrence too.
Interestingly some shot with an old 135 proved nearly as well corrected as
with this modern 75.

Pick up your camera and make the best photo you can.

Ooops - a bad spelling day :-)  Illuminated of course.

or could IR be internal reflection?
