Honestly the best answer you'll get is "RF is weird".
Reflections, deflections.
Radio can bounce of all kinds of things: planes of charged particles up in the ionosphere, aircraft, clouds, meteor trails, temperature inversions.
It's what keeps ham radio interesting! There's whole areas of the hobby taking advantage of it. Look up tropospheric propagation and meteor propagation.
