Help with Identifying

[CarsonMB]

Hey all. Just need some help figuring this out. 

Tonight I was walking my dog and saw what looked like a rapidly moving sattelite. What was unique was that its brightness intensified and ebbed a number of times. I’m used to seeing sattelites get brighter and then dissipate, always assuming this is their reflection of the sun before entering the earth’s shadow. I’ve never seen the brightness oscillate. So I am really uncertain what this was. 

 

The object was spotted at 6:30pm CST moving East-Northeast in the night’s sky. I live in southern Manitoba, Canada.

 

Any ideas?

I'm no expert, but I have seen a couple of satellites that got brighter and dimmer many times at regular intervals while I watched them cross the sky, and I thought I understood that this was due to the satellite spinning.  This would be my best guess, but somebody please correct me if I am wrong!

That would be so cool if true.
