The report cited by Ed Cannon is indeed in very good agreement with Raduga
104 aux motor (99010E / 25671).
Alan Pickup's predicted elset for its final orbit:
1 25761U 99010E 99245.16603396 6.41276226 33610+2 47767-2 0 91166
2 25761 46.9244 159.3809 0384029 73.8469 290.3455 15.73862124 3527
which is found at:
http://www.wingar.demon.co.uk/satevo/dkwatch/
predicts a roughly west to east pass, culminating 66 deg above the northern
horizon, at 21:26:50 PST on 1 Sep 99 (4:26:50 UTC on 2 Sep), as seen from
Redding, CA.
