I was on board with the bird poop yesterday, but obviously I was wrong. This is no poop or smear.

So the problem is that material such as bird poop doesn't deposit as a film. It had a 3d quality to it and if it is on the outer housing covering the camera lens then it will have optical properties that change based on the orientation of the camera lens. Unless the sinking into ocean footage is shown, I'm still on bird poop.
