Very occasionally a lamp fails forcibly in a moving light fixture, and can destroy optical components in the vicinity. In this case it destroyed the reflector, UV filter and possibly some of the other components too. The most common cause is when people falsely reset lamp hour-counters to avoid having to change a lamp. The old lamp's electrodes fail and it can explode with force.
