    Russell Eberst has observed a second object in the 11075A orbit. Here are approximate elements:
    
    1 70002U          12080.86632623  .00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0    09
    2 70002  97.4174 153.1245 0027670 207.9672 152.0080 15.25085122    06
    
    The object trailed the one he found earlier by about 35 min. Here is its approximate orbit:
    
    1 70000U          12080.84188136  .00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0    00
    2 70000  97.4174 153.4674 0027670 128.7531 231.6186 15.25085122    08
    
    In reality, their inclination, eccentricity and mean motion differ a bit, but the above TLEs should be adequate to
    support additional observations that will lead to more precise elements and positive ID of both objects.
