    A fit to your obs of yesterday and these three obs gives:
    
    Unknown 110503                     
    1 99992U 11623A   11124.63825330 0.00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0    03
    2 99992   0.3592  80.3000 0001000 235.8003 181.6151  0.99843090    07
    
    As Ted noted, it seems that this is GSat 2 (03-018A) being moved.

    This obs differs from the Intelsat 12 prediction by about 32 seconds.
    
    If this obs is actually your first unknown from yesterday, then there
    is a good chance that this is PAN (also being moved):
    
    PAN                             
    1 35815U 09047A   11124.18556889 0.00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0    04
    2 35815   0.0653 333.7275 0003453 235.8004 124.1996  1.00130000    02
