Kulikov Sergey Nikolaevich writes to the editorial office of the newspaper "Anomaly":

What prompted me to write is this: sometime in September 1993 (on the day of the capture of Sukhumi) I was lucky enough to film a UFO. I wanted to send the pictures to you, but in November I joined the army. Now, to make up for lost time, I am sending the pictures to you. I hope you find them interesting. In addition to the pictures, I still have the negative. this way you can make sure that this is not a photo montage (unfortunately, I am only an amateur photographer and therefore the quality of the photos (as well as the negative)) leaves much to be desired.

And it was like this:

In the evening, at about 22 o'clock, my friend and I went to the beach for a little walk and over the Georgian territory (we were on the Russian bank of the Psou river, Adler district) we saw several groups of glowing balls. They were located approximately above Cape Pitsunda or even a little closer. I ran to get the camera. a friend stayed on the beach and when I came running back (after 3-5 minutes) he told me that one of the groups went over the mountainside, several groups went vertically upwards at a very high speed. There are only 2 spherical objects left. They were hanging completely motionless and I decided to film them. I had a SHIFT machine with a TASMA-64 film. I went up to the tower and wedged the device between the brackets, put the shutter on "B" and waited until the searchlight of the border guards went out and pressed the trigger. The exposure time was approximately 1.5 minutes. Soon the "balls" disappeared. I took it off and its shutter speed was more than 2 minutes (I shot with an aperture of 1:4). The objects were motionless. I wanted to take a few more pictures, but I ran out of film "Bricks", at that time I was in the field of view for about 3-4 minutes. I don't know how many other objects there were. All of them shone with a bright yellow light, in some places with iridescences of red.

Arrows in the photos

No. 1 faintly glowing pillar near the "Kirpach"

No.2 It is possible that the illuminated strip of the shore (above the glare on the water) is greatly magnified, so everything is "smeared"

# residual glow from a group of "balls" that went behind the slope

Hypotheses

Objects in motion, captured on a long exposure

Most often this artifact is called skayfish if the lens gets a passing bird or insect. It is based on the discrepancy between the speed of the video and the frequency of the flapping of insect wings. Essentially, each video drops a few strokes of the wings of an insect, which when viewed looks like "arrow", provided with long protuberances. The motion of the insect by its translucent body seems to "boom" and vibration of the wings give the appearance of bumps.
