Purple 'comet'?

I just put my HMD on an there is a 'purple comet' appearing in the upper left if my left eye - and a bit of the tail appears in the left eye (if I close my right eye part of the 'comet' disappears...

The HMD hasn't been mistreated, so I'm concerned there is a manufacturing flaw...

A PC with lots of gadgets inside and a thing to see in 3D that you put on your head.

I am having the same problem, on the left eye, lower right, there is a purple comet looking artifact that is extremely distracting. Cannot find help on the issue, support only seems to lead to the forum, which is no bloody good.. it likes saying, "oh, you have a problem, go find the answer yourself - we're too busy!" - not what I would expect from a unit just 2 weeks old. At this point, going to spend a few more minutes looking for contact info to find someone who can help, or will just return to Amazon and get a different device. Sucks!
