I think the phenomenon can be explained by the gravitational anomalies on the surface of the moon..

any other idea?

oh for crying out loud. gravity is the only force acting on these objects.. of course they are not going to move. there is no wind or vibration. i guess if some micro meteorrite hit them then that would cause them to be displaced

low gravity is still gravity, and you may have noticed that dust particles on the moon also fall back to the surface.

the escape velocity of teh moon is: It is Escape Velocity: 2.38 km/s (5324 MPH) .
