The ciliated objects may very much be the ciliated cells of the respiratory tract. Together with their neighboring goblet cells, they form the excretory mechanism of the respiratory system.
Well, that's my best guess.

I would go with respiratory cells as well.

Bronchial epithelium cells. When these cells disintegrate, the ciliary tufts may be visible and may be confused with protozoan flagellates or ciliates (From Diagnostic Medical Parasitology- Lynne Shore Garcia).
I think ciliocytophthoria, which is associated with adenovirus infection, but not a parasite infection from what I know.

Ciliocytophthoria
Not a parasite but UFOs (non parasitic objects)
ciliated epi cells
Ciliated Epis!

I agree, not a parasite.
