when i first noticed the shadow and followed it i ended up at a pretty big pile of loot in the middle of the road. the loot pile had 2 of these shadows. while standing there i noticed another shadow on the fence, it was moving and getting bigger. a minute later a player appeared. he was a nice guy and after chatting for a bit we parted ways.

i decided to record a video of this bug. you can see the shadows near my crosshair/cursor each time i start strafing back and forth. at the end you can see them under his feet very clearly.
