Hi Kevin

I can confirm this by radio observations this evening.  The spacecraft 
appears to be in storage mode and exhibiting the characteristic 600sec 
frequency variation indicative of rotational period of the A2100 bus 
based satellites in this mode.

Visual observations may be rewarding.  MUOS 5 in this mode was a very 
bright flasher.

Here's a link to my radio observations:
