This photograph shows, like many other Apollo photos, strange blobs in the sky. What are they?

The blobs here are not aliens, they are a common camera effect called flare. They are caused by bright light shining into the lens and reflecting off its interior and then down onto the film. This isn't unusual and you'll be able to find it happening in lots of photographs, whether taken on the moon or on Earth.
