A hair on the lens wouldn't follow the dark and light areas of background..so swamp gas on the lens.

Ok I'm one of the people who wanna believe its an alien power cable or something. We are not alone in the universe. But I have to retract my earlier statement. I have to agree with most it's definitely a hair. It's not on the moon or on the lens but its a hair. I don't know how these pictures were developed but maybe that's how it got there?

Why power cable? Is that the only guess? -Yes because I was giving an example. The or something implies that it could be anything. You should've known that unless you got to power cable and stopped reading.
Why the power cable has to be so thick? -It's not a power cable. Haha
Could it be just a conduit?- No it couldn't.
Why "power cable" made its silly way into this thread?- Again I was giving an example. It's not of alien origin. It's a hair. (You know? The things that grow out your head,arms, and legs.) So... Like an earlier poster said its a hair case closed.

Well, given that there are many similar artifacts on many photo's and given their appearance, I propose it is perhaps the remains of a broken carbon-fiber tether to a lunar space elevator. There is a wonderful description of what it would look like if a space elevator tether broke in one of Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy books. He described the elevator being flung into space, while the tether slowly and catastrophically fell back to Mars in long coils and loops. Of course the dynamics of a falling tether on the moon would be very different than on mars due to the different orbital dynamics. Also, I suspect it would have had to have happened a monstrously long time ago.
The documentation on how the film was processed is a good read. The example photos of hair and debris are interesting as well, as they look noting like these anomalies. So, given that they didn't show examples of these anomalies amongst the other common film problems, we would be safe in saying that whatever this is, it is not a common, previously explained phenomenon. Can't we find any other photos of the same areas at the same resolution so that we can compare? If it's on multiple photos, case closed, not a film anomaly. If it's not there, much harder to explain.
Since it seems impossible to get any answers from NASA, you all are just going to have to come up with a more creative solution that those presented. As to my theory, I don't know of way a way to verify it without going and looking. We could disprove it by not seeing it on multiple photos, if they are available.

There is more photos with hairs on them. Actually in this photo there is more hairs too. The part you are looking at is just a fraction of the original.

who said we don't have answer from NASA? All answers from NASA have been posted. Hair my friend. Its a hair, probably blond female pubic but I need closer examination.
