		| | My guess is a bird. Unless it's optical illusion and it much closer than it appears; it would be one big bird. What do you think.

		| | A Mosquito flying past your lens....it is out of focus...therefore it was closer to you than the clouds were....A bird in the sky would have had some definition at least.

 Could have been. I was taking pictures of the clouds to put in my library of sky/cloud pictures for editing purposes. I didn't see the object/dot when taken the picture and the focus point was on the clouds or I was trying to focus on them.

		| | It's an UFO! I saw one the other night. Starshiny thing on the sky that moved darned fast. Not a satelite. |

		| | It could be dust on the sensor that only is visible when shooting sky or solid colors (such as blue), and enlarging the images on screen or printing them.  I had a 40D, brand new, and the first time I used it, all of my sky, or similar photos, had quite a few tiny dots that turned out to be dust on the sensor.  The camera came boxed that way.  I had the sensor cleaned and that cleared up the problem.
