Could it not just appear to be "on top of the clouds", because it has such a bright reflection.
 Quoting: S0L4RN1GHTM4R3

No; if that were the case it should not show such a well defined edge, particularly of the left side where it would be causing the cloud to be backlit just as the sun did. You would instead see a bright diffuse glow that only became sharp after the "object" completely emerged from the cloud. The sharp circular edge of the flare in front of the cloud which is no longer being backlit by an object directly behind it is a dead giveaway of a filter flare.

Very well then.

One thing about your answer seems very shaky though.

I just don't understand how an artifact, which you state it most certainly is, could EVER appear behind the clouds.
 Quoting: S0L4RN1GHTM4R3

And as I've been trying to tell you, it doesn't appear behind the clouds. You can't see it at first when the cloud moves to its position because the cloud itself is saturating those pixels, no detail can be seen at all, thus you can't see the filter flare. It's there though, and that's why you can see it in front of the clouds once the sun emerges and the cloud is no longer bright enough to saturate those pixels.
 Quoting: Astromut


No, not when it first goes behind the cloud, but a few seconds later before the sun comes back from behind the cloud.

Watch it again, it is very clearly BEHIND the clouds.
