Serious mistake - I took an object in similar orbit, adjusted its elset,
found it quite close to Vandenberg at launch time, but when "improving it" I
didn't notice it was passing northbound, where polar launches never go
(except from Kourou, Plesetsk ...)

The large negative drag could indicate orbital adjustments, finished or
ongoing.
In the first case, set it to zero. In both cases, get new elsets within a
day or two.
