That is from the single frame. There's actually a second, smaller one too. I thought maybe it was from some movement caused by wind or something but the stars seem pretty sharp to me.

I had the same thought. That's a quandary. If it's a satellite and it's rotating and a panel catches the light, that might quickly change the brightness, but would it change the pixel size of the streak?
Revisiting the stars, though - they are elongated, and of course a gust of wind would affect them different than it would the moving satellite, so that's perhaps still the most logical conclusion, if not the most satisfying.
Anything longer than a 15s exposure and I get elongated stars. All of the photos in the series, the stars look the same.
If the shaking motion was in the same direction as the star movement it could have been hidden by it?
I don't know, it seems the stars are elongated at a different angle than the UFO.
Well, then, I think we just have to face it:
There is a secret government site nearby, probably testing out some new tech
I wonder...
(P.S. I edited my comment above).
Great photograph! I think the light trail is a meteor with vibration from camera movement. The stars look elongated in the same direction as the vibration. Its not logical for any object to move through space in a tight zig zag ufo or otherwise so most likely its the camera.
