The Object 2003-042J/27947 exhibits RAAN of ascending node apprx. 158 deg, very near to the RAANs of other object from the launch 2003-042, but differs from the one of 1999-057DA by approx. 50 degrees. Such an error in orbit determination leading to the sonfusion seems to be unprobable. Also rather tremendous difference in the mean motion makes this theory very vague. Mgr. Antonin Vitek, CSc.
