Strange transit over Jupiter?

Today, 03.07.2010 at about 3:18 GMT +1 (2:18 local summer time) in Poland / Warszawa I was imaging Jupiter. The seeing and results are as usuall... except that I've spotted a shadow on Jupiter where no moon was in the right spot to make a shadow (Io and Calisto on the back of Jupiter). Looking more I think I've spotted something bright and round-like that also moves with the shadow:

I've marked those things on: http://i48.tinypic.com/2czeb9t.jpg

Is this is one of small moons, flyby of something or just such "strange" things in Jupiter atmosphere?
