As Russell pointed out Mike is depends on observations of this satellite to produce the classfied TLE, as they are not published by Space-Track. Your mail with the video will help to fine tune the TLE, so it can be observed by others and we don`t ´loose´ this sat. I have observed Helios 1A this year on Jan 01 and 17; Feb 16 and 22. It was steady in the first 3 obs; in the 4th S in the first image and fading to invisible in the 2nd image. This what I reported Jan 01 when I imaged it as an UNID.
