If you select your objects and choose: Object > Pattern > Make, you will get a warning about objects containing patterns. But there are no (visible) patterns in your file.

It looks like the stroke in your red ovals contains the mystery pattern.

Select one of them and go Select > Same > Stroke color and replace it with the color used for the background.

It should work after that.

Thank you for the help. When I go to Select - Same - Stroke color, it makes a boundary box smaller as the all pattern. What does it mean this mistake? Patterns cannot contain anything painted with a pattern. I only put color inside.

No error warning, just is not possible to drag it.. it comes back to the artboard back. When I go to Object - Clipping Mask ... this option I can not do click it doesnt allow me to click in Clipping Mask.. So I do not think it has. I put in Swatches Release Clipping Mask , and the pattern put himself in Outline and, now i can not get back to my pattern

Is there any error warning?

Maybe there is a clipping mask somewhere in it?
