Glowing cloud over Moscow, or natural optical illusion?

I recently encountered a viral video on YouTube that supposedly depicts a glowing cloud above Moscow. The woowoos have claimed it’s everything from a sinister government plot to an alien invasion.
*headdesk*
Okay, time to set things straight. Simply put, there is no glowing cloud. That “glowing” area you see is the sky shining through a circular opening in the clouds:
Unusual? Yes. A product of aliens or a secret government conspiracy? No.
