Unknown Trio

I observed a very faint unknown trio tonight. At first, I thought I was
seeing the NOSS 2-3 trio, but SatSpy didn't show any passes for this time.
I've been wanting to see them for some time, but never have.
The trio was seen moving from the West-Northwest to the East-Southeast at
03:37-03:39 UTC from the below coordinates. I picked them up just after
culmination at 03:37:45 UTC and followed them until 03:39:00 UTC at about
30 deg. elevation (the garage got in the way). The leading sat was a
magnitude brighter then the trailing two. (I'm sorry I can't guess at the
mags of these but they were faint in my 10 X 50 binocs.)
I did see the Noss 2-3 Rk (23907 96-029B) right on with the elset
provided by Mike McCants earlier. I missed Tips, AGAIN.
Any help on the unknown is appreciated.
Thanks,
Bryan
