ObsReduce tells me USA 129 was 1.953; 1.464; 1.240 s late on my observations tonight: 24680 96 072A 5919 G 20040824192855700 17 25 1956907+062779 48 S 24680 96 072A 5919 G 20040824192913080 17 25 1948778+190397 28 S 24680 96 072A 5919 G 20040824192956480 17 25 1820765+712278 48 S I can't figure it out - if a reboost was made on this perigee, it should be early. If it was on the previous perigee, it would be about 8 seconds late. What these numbers mean: http://www.satobs.org/position/IODformat.html When it had passed zenith, and I rose and turned to reacquire it, I found instead a bright satellite in the opposite direction, which flared to -1 near zenith.
