Double inverse Compton scattering of a suitable electron spectrum on the universal black body radiation as an explanation of the excess radiation produced is reappraised. Calculations and observations show that electron scattering on the low-energy X-ray spectrum may give a high enough flux in some energy range as to deform in a substantial way the previous shape of the spectrum. Although low-energy X-ray observations suffer from large uncertainties, the results indicate that the idea of a Compton scattering on the UV and X-ray spectrum itself is not completely incorrect. Data on the 100 MeV photon spectrum show that scattered soft X-ray photons might appear as a flattening in the spectrum at 1 GeV. This provides a definite prediction and a test for the hypothesis. Test results would yield information about the galactic or extra-galactic origin of the X-ray flux and the clumpiness of the interstellar medium.
