UFOs

Aveatry doesn't know much about the Apollo program, which is fine. The book 'A man on the moon' by Chakin is excellent and gives a really good overview of the Apollo program. Worth reading. If he had read about it he'd know about the camera issue when Bean broke one and other trivia about photography on the lunar surface.
We were talking about film cameras not vid
Aveatry also doesn't know about photography, which is fine, but he failed to Google it even briefly because of he did he'd find out that lens flare is caused by frontal light sources.
All light is from the front in an image but to get a flare it needs to be a much brighter spot of light which in this case is the sun behind them.
Aveatry didn't know about other photographs showing lens flare over the regolith because he didn't look.
The reference you gave called it film damage which it may well be.
A routine part of any sort of investigation is looking for something that would disprove your theory. "Can these appear without aliens" should be the first thing you check when you're looking at a UFO. Aveatry didn't do that.

Just like the links to videos he's ignorant and lazy. One or the other is manageable but together you get, well, Aveatry and his circle of cheerleaders.
 
Wrong - you do not get a lens flare with that scene to get a flare you need a bright spot of light - like you said - a flash

The lens is curved so any "flare" would be at an angle and not vertical as in the photo
That's not how light works. You're just wrong on this. The flare is at 90 degrees to the light source where it intersects the spherical lens surface. For those blue marks you can see them in thousands upon thousands of ground based photos. Anyone who is still arguing they are inexplicable phenomena is just taking the **** or utterly thick.

And you're still ignoring the UGOs in those images I see.

There is no "light source" --- its all the same light source like a snow covered scene to get a flare you need a point of light much more intense than the rest of the scene. If NASA thought it was just a lens flare then why do you think they kept the image secrete for over 50 years.
 
Any restrictions would likely be more to do with sensitive NASA space equipment rather than film fault flashes.
All the NASA footage was released decades ago. This UFO stuff and the wider moon landing conspiracies are emblematic of a lack of understanding or knowledge of the history of space flight.
