NARRATIVE

I was laying on my couch watching TV.  It was during a thunderstorm, and I had seen periodic flashes of lightning.  This was not lightning. 
In the window next to the TV, a bright circle flashed in the sky.  It appeared very briefly, perhaps for 2 seconds, before vanishing.  It was an extremely bright, white light similar to lightning, but it was circular.  
I could faintly hear a sound similar to a train or tornado and when I stepped outside to investigate, the sound faded quickly.
