Russell Eberst observed an object on 30 April at 23:19 UTC, that may be USA 116 (95066A / 23728). Pierre Neirinck has produced this search orbit, which is a good fit to the two points that Russell obtained: 1 70000U 00122.23258110 .00021000 00000-0 27097-3 0 08 2 70000 97.9145 234.2473 0526626 342.6962 15.3768 14.73850000 06 Searchers should allow for several minutes of time uncertainty. Note that I have recently begun issuing search elements with a pseudo-NORAD number 70000 and no International Designator, to make it less likely that someone will later unknowingly compile them into historical archives as though they were accurate. As soon as the recovery of the object has been confirmed, and reasonably accurate elements produced, I will revert to the normal designations.
