This is called a Perihelia. It is as you can see below a weather phenomenon. I have heard of them mostly in the midwest, this one is in Kansas.

A bright circular spot on a solar halo; a mock sun: usually one of two or more such spots seen on opposite sides of the sun, and often accompanied by additional luminous arcs and bands.

Also called sundog.
