Good questions, I love looking at this kind of stuff. Either way, wonderfully interesting
I want to know what these things/structures are on the moon that are casting shadows?

Having said that, the probability of a collision with a giant rock knocking just enough of our forming planet to just the right distance... (Is this still the current theory of the moon's formation?) to give us this "diamond ring" eclipse is pretty small!!
About the total lack of evidence pointed out I believe its good to keep in mind who it is that is breast-feeding us this so-called evidence that we DO get!
Theories require evidence.
The point I tried to convey was that drafting theories and speculating based on findings, or a lack of expected findings, is the way science works. Why discourage it?

First of all, those dark trails are not shadows. As you can see from the images below (from your link), those dark trails go BOTH directions horizontally from those "objects", so they can't be shadows (shadows don't get cast in two directions 180 degrees apart.
To understand what those dark trails are, you need to understand what those "objects" are. They are not really objects at all, but instead they are film artifacts that showed up due to developing errors on the spacecraft that took these photos (Lunar Orbiter 5, from 1967).
The method Lunar Orbiter 5 used to take and transmit images to earth was to actually take real "film" pictures (not digital) right on the spacecraft and automatically develop those real film pictures right inside the spacecraft. Those pictures were then automatically scanned inside the spacecraft, then transmitted back to earth.
Errors in the development caused those white spots, and the scanning method caused those over-bright white spots to "bleed" a horizontal dark bar in the transmitted scans.

A theory being "shot down" is only aplicable when the evidence supporting it is conclusive. Since none of the really conclusive evidence proves or disproves anything major, except for some circumstancial details, this statement cannot be true. The link I put up in my previous post talks about quite a few controversial issue's in regards to the moon and its origin. Of wich none have been proven false or true BTW. the same thing aplies to mainstream science. Its one huge pile of assumptions and hypotheses.
Then how can we possibly form any kind of conclusion? we cant. So we should be careful not to do so...
That being said, "facts" are not always necessary to prove a theory.
I would say that there are many more scientists who are open to outlandish possibilites (as long is there is a lack evidence to the contrary) but evidence which is presented in support of those possibilities has to stand up. That is the way science works.
It really frustrates me that 'Science' is supposed to be about exploration and investigation, however many people who claim to be Science oriented are closed minded to "outlandish" possibilities, but that attitude in itself contradicts the idea of Science in the first place.
Interesting, sure. Plausible, no. Unless you just accept the "evidence" as presented without question.
I admit some of these ideas are a bit far-fetched and are mostly conjecture, however some of them are quite interesting and could be considered plausible.
