From the Ted Serios WIKI:
In an article in New Scientist titled "The Chance of a Lifetime" (24 March 2007), an interview appears with the noted mathematician and magician Persi Diaconis. During the interview Diaconis ... claimed that he caught Serios sneaking a small marble with a photograph on it into the little tube attached to the front of the camera he used. "
Some technique like that could well have been used by Lansing. I imagine the principle can be employed in several ways.
I agree with Burnt State that the 'clock' looks could be an etching. If it's not, perhaps it's light coming in through the slits where the lens is connected to the camera house? Perhaps she didn't lock the lens all the way in, leaving just enough of a gap to let concentrated light hit the emulsion.

This is yet another page in the long history of esoteric things that show up on film and are somewhat difficult to affirm or negate. Barring some kind of oversight in which the entire process of taking the pics is documented from start to finish, I doubt there is any reliable way to say with 100 percent certainty what these images are. And, as usual, one should question the credentials of any so called "expert" doing film analysis. "Expert" is relative term. And it's a label that can be arbitrarily attached to almost any halfway articulate person of choice.

Well, I think the most important thing is to be aware that no magic is required, only a bit of trickery. That's basically all I need to know, personally, because the rest of story kinda tells itself at that point imo.
That's one reason why a small ping from outer space is more interesting to me than wild elaborate stories from Earth - because human ingenuity and vanity can be taken out of the equation.
