Floaters are black spots. The translucent spots you can see in the sky are sometimes called blue sky sprites, and are actually white blood cells distorting the

  Nah, floaters can be kinda clear. Mine look like circles with stuff in them (they look kinda like diagrams of a cell, or maybe a simple diagram of an atom—they have kinda a dot in the middle) and some of those same circles connected in long, curly strings with tube-like (?) structures. They do indeed “float”. If I move my eyes they move with them, then have momentum when I stop moving my eyes. They’re way more visible against static, bright backgrounds (like blue sky) but I can see them in indoor lighting, too. I’ve had them since I was very young. The white flashes you’re referring to I’ve only noticed recently, and are very different things. They do require a bright blue sky for me to see them.

    Yup, when I get floaters, I look up and then back down very quickly and then they end up somewhere I can't see them for a while. They do look a whole lot like things we saw in biology class under microscope.
