My sincere gratitude to martin keitel for the following analysis of the above photograph.
1. The objects in the photo are unlike any artefacts usually caused by light
reflections in the camera lens.
2. They clearly display perspective depth, the smallest objects being higher in
the picture (like they are supposed to, according to the angle of the photo) and
also fainter as they are further from the camera. It is to me quite clear that
these objects were actually physically present when the photograph was taken.
3. All of the objects seem to be composed of a small white ball with an
extrusion that extends diagonally downwards. This give an impression of upright
movement, but it may be misleading. Normal motion blur should blur the objects
in both directions (like in the case of raindrops which are elongated in a
photo). The angle of these "tails" is similar for each object, but not exactly
the same. The slight variation in the angle seems random.
4. The objects are not actually white, but rather light blue. Since the overall
tone of the photo is not at all towards blue but rather brownish, this is a
significant detail (as a result the objects are most clearly visible in the Blue
channel in the Red-Green-Blue color space).
5. The only "conventional" explanation I can think of is that these are some
kind of insects that are brightly lit by the flashlight. But this doesn't
explain the "tails", nor the bluish tint. Also, if there were other photos taken
shortly before or after, which DON'T show these objects, that is a problem for
this explanation.
