Well you could be seeing a weis ring - possibly.  You also have some flashes.  My strong advice is to see an ophthalmologist for a complete eye exam with dilated retinal exam.  You need to be checked for a possible retinal tear or detachment and get to know the doctor because you could have more symptoms and possible problems with vitreous or retina in the future.
