SPACECOM must surely have found Iridium 84. Maybe they have not yet been able to confirm *what* it is, and hence the elements have not been released to OIG! The strange thing is that the one elset showing the major orbital adjustment *was* released. SPACECOM must presumably have been quite confident of the identification at that time.
