Grab the latest version of Stellarium, put in your location as accurately as you can [F6] button, enable the "Satellites" plugin and restart.

[F3] type Jupiter <enter>

[F5] change the display date and time to when you took the photos.

You should see your satellite. This is what I got.
If it was a satalite wouldn't the track be much bigger seeing he took the pictures One Minute apart
As in my post before this it would be a Big Satellite
Cheers
