   I think it's in line. Look at the shadows of the tires.   
   Or the highlights/shadows on the angled bumper.   
   Say, for sake of argument that it's 15 degrees from   
   broadside to the truck. So the sun hits the window   
   at 15 deg, then bounces off at 15 deg to the mirror   
   where it is then bounced back at us at whatever   
   that combined angle is.   
      
   Or to look at another way, shoot a laser at the   
   spot on the mirror, then extrapolate where the   
   various light bounces happen.   
      
   Like look at where we can see the reflection of   
   the MIRROR in the window.   
      
   It probably really is the glowing security orb.   
   And the cooler in the bed is filled with missing   
   children to feed the greys. But just to keep them   
   thinking I haven't caught on, I'm going with the   
   sun reflection theory.
