This is probably not a mis-identification. This satellite has been removed from the BWGS program some time ago but now it is a Top Priority object again. The last observation which was made before you has been done by Bram Dorreman in August 2000. At that time it was observed with a flash period of 11.35s. It seems that it has been accelerting againg, and maybe it still is ! So, a *very very very* important object to observe !
