Using Marco's new observations of his 2nd UNID of May 03, and starting with Mike McCants' estimated elements, and holding only eccentricity constant, I obtain: 1 99992U 11623A 11124.48091999 .00000000 00000-0 00000-0 0 02 2 99992 0.3731 81.8331 0003453 232.1100 127.2612 0.99844638 04 It was at 46.1 E, drifting west 1.54 deg/d. The orbit is close in inclination and plane to that of India's GSat 2 (03018A / 27807). According to the latest TLE on Space Track (epoch 11122.898), it was synchronous at 48 E, so perhaps it is being moved. Greg Roberts has reported 03018A several times, with brightness ranging between mag 9 and 11.
