USA 116 should have been visible from southern latitudes for a long time,
but may latest elset is quite old. A discussion on the uncertainties I see
is available under http://www.algonet.se/~b_gimle/unknowns.htm
Here are two, quite different, search orbits:
USA 116 before USA 129 boost 1005 x 262
1 23728U 95066A 97317.82500000 .00014928 47402-9 12000-3 0 21
2 23728 97.8926 65.6000 0530000 32.6000 330.6000 14.78700000 9559
(or very unlikely, but similar to June 14, 2h 55m after USA 129?? :
USA 116 before USA 129 boost 1005 x 262
1 23728U 95066A 97317.79000000 .00014928 47402-9 12000-3 0 33
2 23728 97.8926 65.6000 0530000 32.6000 330.6000 14.78700000 9559
