What is that flying orb and the flash of light in the crater?This look like an optical trick.By the way the video as a very poor quality and dont seem to be a real footage from an Apollo mission.
It looks to me as if the 'orb' and 'streak' are bits of reflective stuff floating around outside the window. The 'flash' was probably a thruster firing for an attitude correction, which would accelerate the vehicle, causing the 'orb' to appear to suddenly speed up and change direction. The streak that 'followed' it looks like another bit, passing by the window because of the acelleration.
