There were several resurrections of long-decayed satellites last week.
Surely these are the Last of Days, and portents such as this will only
multiply in the months ahead!
At any rate, I sent a question about this to the OIG sysop, and apparently
they are also confused and seeking an answer from USSPACECOM.
(I hope this message gets through, as my ISP seems to have been seriously
traumatized by Hurricane Bret, which ran over us yesterday. Yet another
portent. :-)
