In your case it is probably the cuff of a long sleeved shirt, etc. but I
don't mean a "palm impression"... the palm rest is just the top of the
laptop case which surronds the keyboard and the touchpad. It is wired in
such a way as a fault in the connections or the wires themselves causes the
mouse pointer to skyrocket off into oblivion.

I am quite sure it is a brush by I am doing as it happens so fast it
couldn't be a palm impression.

I wonder why I can't find anything about a mouse in my BIOS and I have  the
touchpad disabled but it still responds to touch.

Another issue with errant touchpads at least for Dell Lattitude models  has
been the palm rest.

If you are sure you can't disable the touch  pad and you are sure you are
not
brushing the pad with your wrists and the  cursor keeps jumping you may have
a bad palm rest which contains the  connections for the mouse pointer and
touch pad.

Investigate your  model to narrow down the exact cause of such behavior.
