Once again...decided to post another newbie question here.
Earlier in the night, I was at Dave's meteor watch session at Bishan Park for a short while. Met Dave, Bornfree & Hong Lian (hope I remember your name correct) and hope you guys have a fun night. Did a 150 interval shots sequence there when the north sky clears a bit but photos only show endless clouds cover with small patches of clear sky areas. Nothing of interest
Went home at 11:30pm to rest and resume interval shoot from my house balcony at around 3 plus. In the last set of 100 interval shots (26mm, 15 secs each, iso500, f/3.2) which starting at 4:35am, it seems that "something" was captured in one of the frames. This is the photo:

Only did some simple adjustments in PS - exposure, contrast, clarity, noise reduction and adjust levels to tighten the black & white range.
Need some help/comments/guide here on how to determine whether this is a meteor or satellite?
Additional info:
Time stamp - 11 August 2013, 4:43:18am
Camera was pointed towards 20-25 degree north-east direction, about 50-60 degree tilt.
Based on skysafari app, the center of the "something" was at 352 degree north and 60 degree above horizon.
btw a slight glimpse of andromeda galaxy can be seen at the left side of the tail of the "something"
If there is more info needed, pls let me know. big thanks!

Meteor or satellite?
Re: Meteor or satellite?
After visually spotted a meteor at 3:44am (14 August 2013) among the thin clouds, left my cam to take interval shots before I going to sleep. Just finished looking through the shots. Looks like I have caught another meteor and this should be a perseid
Time stamp: 5:41am.
Cam was pointing at N 356 degree at about 60 degree tilt.
Shot at 14mm

No more doubts whether this is a meteor or not.
