This what Space command and OIG now put out for object 27630. If this is to be believed this object moved from the low to the high orbit sometime between day 364.705 and day 365.019. SZ-4 1 27630U 02061A 02365.01917697 .00046517 00000-0 25672-3 0 82 2 27630 42.4080 331.8393 0004456 170.2078 278.5862 15.78837141 218 SZ-4 1 27630U 02061A 02364.70568348 .00742031 82698-5 53893-3 0 79 2 27630 42.4071 333.6023 0098454 137.3513 34.6157 16.04752081 168 But, this group of elsets, which Phillip Clark spotted shows that something was in the higher orbit already on day 364.33, i.e. on rev 10! (Launch was on day 363.6944). These elsets are still listed by OIG, but nothing beyond the eslet for day 364.827!

So, which elsets should we believe? Hard to say. I doubt it will be possible to sort out the first 10 revs of the real SZ-4. Space Command maybe never tracked it.
