Thoughts and similar experiences?

I had a very similar experience to this back in November. I had just left the parking garage at work and driven only 2 blocks when I heard a horrendous metallic screeching sound that was like the worst, loudest brake squeal that I've ever heard. At first I thought the sound was coming from a large dump truck next to me in traffic, but then I realized the sound was coming from my car. I could not determine which wheel the sound was coming from.
The sound was so alarming that I decided to drive the car straight to the dealership, but before I got there the screeching sound stopped rather suddenly after I made a right turn.
Once I got to the dealership I told the SA about what had happened. They did a very thorough inspection of the brakes the next morning including removing each caliper and inspecting the pads and rotors. They found nothing abnormal and attributed the screeching sound to a stone or some other piece of debris getting caught between the brake disc and the dust shield since there is a rather narrow space between them. I've never experienced anything like this before or since this happened.
