    Yes, your observation is a good match for object 90070.
    
    Here is a guess:
    
    Unknown 061125                  
    1 90070U 06829A   12110.20297090 0.00430000  00000-0  10017-2 0    06
    2 90070  27.4752 100.3798 3666699  13.6842 346.3059  8.27929915    04
    
    The drag is quite high and it has been about 10 weeks since it was
    last seen, so the mean motion is fairly uncertain.  After one day, the
    prediction could be off 5 or even 10 minutes.
