At around 5:56 UTC ( July 23 ) I noticed a nice flashing object when playing back the video
captured that night.

Based on the path, it was 90060

It arrived roughly 30 seconds early compared to what was predicted by this older orbit.

Unknown 060520
1 90060U 06640A   07173.42617186 0.00000010  00000-0  17290-3 0    00
2 90060  29.1058 296.8096 7080339 258.7054 101.3604  2.32918502    00

So what looks to be a rocket in transfer orbit.

To difficult to measure positions, the sky wasn't the best that night. Will maybe observe the
object another night/

Kevin
