Paul Gabriel observed the object on 2001 Aug 17 at 02:20 UTC. It was closer to Mike McCants' search orbit (below) than to mine. 1 26881U 01033B 01228.10938691 .00350000 00000-0 53502-3 0 01 2 26881 28.6968 183.0304 0370000 185.7071 174.2914 15.39074020 03 Paul did not have time to make a complete report, but judging by his comments, the object was well within 1 min of the time predicted using the above, and near the predicted track. Paul observed several points, which he hopes to post later tonight. If anyone can obtain an accurate point on a subsequent revolution, then we will be able to compute a fairly accurate mean motion.
