My first attempt at trying to shoot meteor showers (perseids). Shot these last Wednesday night. I suspect they are not meteors. If not what do you think they are? Thank You.

air plane-1st image and satellite-2nd image. They constant light without variation indicate man made light source. Meteors have fluctuating light trails since they're reacting to the atmospheric friction

This one is meteor. Sometimes meteor ends up with brighter flash. Depending of the size it just burns in atmosphere, sometimes it explodes of high temperature producing light flash.
