Is this a meteor?

[Chris_C2000]

Hi,

I've been taking a few pictures of meteors but I'm not sure if this is one or not. Normally I see them fade in then get really bright then immediately go out or fade out, but this seems to become bright twice. 

Is it something else? I was captured in a single 30 second exposure out of a group of 10 or so I was taking. Other than this I captured one other really faint meteor.

Looks like a tumbling satellite to me.

I would say its a tumbler too i captured an image almost identical a few months back.

Ahh Cool thanks for that. I never realised that satellites could do that. 

Two more questions then.. I think it is a (faint) meteor in this image (bottom left quarter near the centre) can you confirm and what the heck would have made the wibbly pattern top right?

Lower left centre, probably a meteor, do you have the individual image for that one?

Wibbly wobbly.. nothing celestial, must have been something in front of camera or some sort of reflection.

defintitely a tumbling satelite, i would have very pleased to capture it as well, the images is pretty cool in my opinion!

as for the other image it certainly looks like a feint meteor near the center.

This was my capture of a tumbler as i mentioned in an earlier reply it did supprise me too.

I have seen those wobbly lines before on some images but could never be sure what they are.

The wobbly lines could be light reflecting off a flying insect flying just in front to the lens.

I've captured a few tumbling satellites in my time.

That's what i was thinking.
