Here's a very similar effect from a video:

The reflected sun is a more muted image of the actual sun and so allows you to see the cloud in front of it, which you can't see in the actual sun because it's blown out. Be interesting to know if measurer used a filter over the lens, as (according to the link) that can create these reflections, as can taking the pic through a window.
