It definitely doesn't appear to be dust. It could however be some glare on the LM window or camera lens.
I see no evidence of it casting a shadow on the lunar surface, as some have pointed out.
Here's another source for the video. The frames in question start around the 12:01 point.

What is so difficult to understand about that?

very slightly. less than 1 tenth of 1 percent or less. no shadow although I can imagine one.

If you watch it in fullscreen, it becomes a slightly less ridiculous claim. The first several seconds it appears, it's not moving exactly with the lunar module, so I don't think it's a spec on the glass...at least not a stationary spec. Also, it looks to be casting a shadow on the terrain in some parts of the video. Could be an illusion...I don't know.

Because it's possible that some evidence exists out there somewhere that the astronauts didn't notice. After all, their primary mission was not to look for UFO's. That's why it's OK to examine shadows and dust.

Let me bully you into reading this 1970 NASA report, in case you are assuming nobody before you thought to examine Apollo external video. The report might provide some insights into how seriously they were taken, and what they probably were showing.
Maybe you ought to keep company with bullies more often.
It can be mind-opening.
