These spots have been discussed at length on the internet.
Damien is on the right lines that it is some kind of artifact added in
the processing. There are lots of them available to find. The easiest
to find is to go left about 7 clicks on max resolution.
Notice that Google overlays a watermark on their photos. You can see
some on this example, including on the mysterious blob. Now zoom out
one level. Note that the Google watermark stays the same size because
it is overlayed on to the displayed map. *Except* on the blob, where
it shrinks with the blob. This indicates that the blobs have been cut
and pasted into the original photo along with the watermark.

On the other hand, it does look very much like a Class 'D' Altairian
scoutship.  ;)
