“It was a contractor who was doing regular maintenance while the President was gone,” the White House official said in a statement in response to questions about the images.

Article is worth a read for details. I think the Daily Beast had more details.

Weird stuff happens at the WH now and then. I do know that contractors like to throw stuff out of windows because it's more convenient than going up and down stairs. (Been there done that and so has anyone who owns a two story house. ) But it's the WH and stuff like that probably shouldn't be going on over there.
