Oh, those are probably just yeast floaties, CO2 pockets, or weather balloons.
Ah, you've got yourself a "pellicle". I guess the primary (active) fermentation slowed, and the cider didn't get moved to a carboy once that happened, allowing infection to take hold.
I'm terrible at identifying via a picture, but it looks like brettanomyces to my untrained eye. But pediococcus and lactobacillus are more common.

Huh?
An attempt at a joke, I assume. I have experienced blue pellicles but never infected ones.
Yeah..I never transferred it to a secondary once the fermentation was complete...probably should have added some camden tablets at that point? I believe it's a lacto infection. I tasted some, and has that familiar sour taste you find in a lot of sour beers. Very interesting tanginess to it. I'll probably run it through a filter, add some camden tablets, and then backsweeten to see what happens.
