A perfect lens will not do this perhaps one of the elements is a little out of alignment, dropping or knocking the lens sharply may do this.
Does it do it if the sun is exactly in the middle of the lens?

It is probably lens flare, although this often shows a hexagonal bright spot caused by the shape of the aperture made by the blades. In your case, this shape does not appear to be present. Also, lens flare often presents with a partial colour spectrum or rainbow and this does not appear in your picture. Removing the UV filter may help as there could be some internal reflection between the different glass elements. However, if you shoot straight into the sun, or often even more likely when you shoot with the sun slightly off-axis, but still within the frame, there is a high probability of lens flare.
I have produced flare with Nikon ED lenses costing well over £1,000 at today's prices, so even very high quality optics can still suffer from the problem.
But only if the point of light is just outside the field of view.
If it is in the field of view only a thumb or finger will block it out but that often spoils the picture even more.
Indeed looks like lens flare. Occurs when shooting with a light source in front of the camera. The more compliicated the lens (the more elements inside it) the more likely you are to get this. Bearing that in mind, removing the UV filter might lessen the problem, as you will have one less element, and therefore on less surface to cause the problem.
lens flare cannot be completely avoided, but it can be significantly reduced by high-quality coatings on the glass elements. Including the UV filter.
High quality however means high price, so could it perhaps be that your UV filter is not exactly top-range? I would just give it a try without the UV filter (it is not really necessary anyway at sunset) and see if the lens flare disappears.
Best Regards,
Gerhard

I find sunsets are best if you can keep the sun from shining directly into the lens.
It virtually eliminates any chance of flare and it keeps the contrast to a level the sensor (or film) can handle without everything either burning out or blocking up.
Either keep it behind the clouds or use some other foreground object to hide it behind.
