I observed FIA Radar 2 (= USA 234) tonight from 21:29 to 21:31 UTC - it was on time, the July 14 elements are still valid, and there was obviously no recent manoeuvre.

Juli, 2015 15:53 Uhr Hi all, Last night Daniel Fischer(!) in Germany (51.4 N 7.2 E) observed a flaring/flashing object in UMa at around 22:28:30(!) UT (Jul 17). This is his scetch of the trajectory: https://twitter.com/cosmos4u/status/622378876598120449 This trajectory is only possible with a retrograde orbit, of which there are not many. A check against all JSpOC and our classified orbits did not yield a candidate. However, based on 4-day old elements 15195.92799017, FIA Radar 2 (38109, 12-014A) should have passed along a very similar trajectory near 22:14 UT, so 12 minutes earlier. If this was FIA R2, then it must have manoeuvered in the past 4 days.
