Alex,

Why did you not center the "sphere" in your frame area instead of
having it off to the other side of the frame from the sun?
(Exactly where one would expect a lens flare).

As a professional photographer I would like to state
categorically that this is a lens flare. Sorry I can only speak
to what I see, not any other references to what you saw before or
after taking the picture.
