Strange Bright Light Beside the Sun

I was driving southbound on Stevenson's Road (south of the 401) and notice the sun was unusually bright even though it was a pretty clear day. It was early in the morning (~9:15am) so the sun was not high up in the sky (just above Lake Ontario). I then noticed that the sun was to my left and another bright light was to the right. My first thought was it was a reflection of some sort from the sun bouncing off the clouds, but it was just very unusual how it only reflected off of one spot.

I thought to myself this was beautiful and decided to take a photo with my cell phone camera (while driving). As I started taking pictures and getting closer to the lights I realized this was some sort of phenomena. I then had to turn right (westbound) onto Wentworth and decided to pull over and get a still shot. I rolled down the window and took a clear shot of the lights then I zoomed in a little closer and took a couple more shots.

Then within a matter of less than a minute the light started to fading or slowly disappearing. The light now turned into a small beautiful rainbow as the cloud disappeared and then eventually the rainbow also disappeared. I did not think anything of what I saw as a mystery, but just beauty.

When I got to my office I downloaded the photos to do a review then to my surprise I now am noticing an orange dot in some of the photos. I did not see this with my eyes while observing the bright light. It seemed to have been moving and one shot shows the dot very near to the bright light. It is the dot(s) that are making me believe that I witnessed some sort of a UFO.
