Really, are they white? Or just clear. What would make then white in your opinion?

Looks like fermentation as usual to me. Yeast rafts, I think they are called. They will probably be floating around until you bottle/keg.
On the very off chance it is mold, it will grow and you will be able to tell.

That doesn't look like pellicle at all. Check the pellicle thread for comparison.
It looks like your carboy got slightly wiggled and the residual CO2 is floating to the top. RDWHAHB.

I don't see the pellicle (your cell phone lens could use a microcloth), but I do very much agree with Bottle Bomber that it's mold. I think the various "do I have an infection" threads are starting to condition responses around here such that every concern gets dismissed as yeast rafts.
I've seen that mold myself in a couple of beers. I just racked from underneath it and left an undisturbed top layer so as not to get the mold in my keg.

If this were a primary I would say it looked like yeast. But it's very unusually to have the yeast drop, transfer to a secondary and then see something like this.
As far a Co2 bubbles, nope you still can't see the Co2. You can see the beer which gas has caused to bubble. Co2 is not visible to human eyes.

Guys, it's yeast rafts. Rising co2 carries yeast from the bottom to the top where it floats. The surface of our beers is rarely ever perfectly clean.
