I would create a pale yellow solid. Give it an elliptical mask. Feather the edges a lot. Set it's transfer mode to Add. Place it over the hit point. Play with the opacity till you have a good level of brightness, and animate it's opacity in and out.

For extra kick, maybe duplicate the layer, and tighten up the mask so you have a bright center where the 2 layers overlap.
