The anniversary thing - tabloids love that sort of synchronicity - doesn't appear to be connected at all (though see "Phoenix Lights" [Wiki] for that quite interesting tale).

Probably something simple, but lets just pretend it's something exciting like a UFO landing or crashing while our government is hiding the truth from us ! I'm bored and I LOVE conspiracy theories.

My guess is it's a flash from behind the screen. If it had actually been outdoors, with all that traffic, somebody would have reported seeing it. Since they say there haven't been any reports, you would then have to assume the flash came from within the building, not from outside.
