Do you remember the weather? Were there low clouds? Are you on a hill or near a valley?

If it is just a silent incandescent circle it is possible that you saw light from a car or other similar object reflecting on a fog/cloud or maybe temperature difference in the air.

I’d say it was clear sky, but honestly I don’t remember the weather. The topology of the terrain is flat.

Chances are it was some sort of atmospheric optic phenomenon, but I’ve never seen anything like it since.
