Hi,
Look like fungus... Change to other lens and shoot again using similar setting (or smaller f-stop) at the blue sky. If the "thing" didn't appear, it's your lens or filter... if it's does, it's your camera sensor.
Have a nice day.

Aliens!!!!!!!
Try shooting without the lens at all. If the specks are still present, then the dirt is on your CCD.
In which case get a puffer, CAREFULLY lock up the mirror (or shoot a long exposure) and blow air at the CCD witht he camera held pointing downward.
Which DSLR are you using?

i don't think that's fungus. i think it's dirt on the sensor.
try to stop down the lens to f/22, then take a picture of a plain white sheet. if it's sensor dirt it will become much more obvious.

is it still under warranty?
that fungus might be removable with a simple sensor swab.
