What did I see? What might resemble a "drunk" satellite?

I was stargazing for maybe 20 minutes andnI saw 2 or 3 objects that resembled satellites, and were going at about the same speed, but were wobbling slightly instead of going perfectly straight. They also appeared to be speeding up and slowing down slightly. They had no blinking lights and appeared to stay the same size. I saw plenty of planes and satellites which were behaving normally during this time as well.

What could those have been?

Everything is relative. You look up and see drunk satellites. The satellites look down and see a drunk telescope user
