Air bubble most likely. When fish eyes occur, they usually occur in great numbers.

I think I read some where that you can use your razor blade or a small drill bit to open up that bubble. Dig into it then using a syringe with epoxy inject it. after you get the bubble filled do on more coat over the top.
