In my haste to prepare an elset in time for use tonight, I may have misunderstood whether or not the Centaur is one of the two objects reported. One of them seems to be a rocket, but pending clarification, observers should not necessarily expect either object to be as bright as a Centaur. The Centaur could well be in a lower parking orbit, with a NOSS apogee. Thus far, NASA/OIG lists only two objects from yesterday's launch: USA 160 and the Centaur, but there could be additional pieces that have yet to be catalogued.
