Must be of alien origin, the glow matches the green shown in documentaries.

Maybe OP is from Ireland, in which case it is most probably just a fairy.

I think it must be a speck of something on my lens. There’s a similar artifact on another photo I have from around the same time.

So basically camera fingerprinting…
Better don’t use the camera while committing crimes! ;-)

Not ones where I’m looking up into the sun, in any case.

Honestly just looks like normal lens flare where the sun is blocked by a tree branch. The flare is lens-dependent, but it’s also dependent on conditions. I doubt one could reliably fingerprint someone based on lens flare unless OP is like one of a few people using this lens

Thats specular lens flare (ghosting), it looks like multiple little dots here, instead of a larger dot, since the light is partially blocked by tree branches. A lens hood and repositioning the camera are the only ways to prevent these.
