Patrick, your UNID of 2010 Aug 14 and Aug 20 UTC is the rocket body of the IGS 4 launch, which happen to be the first observations reported this summer. Here are approximate elements that are in reasonable agreement with your observations: 1 30588U 07005C 10232.12395305 .00025000 00000-0 24707-3 0 05 2 30588 97.3688 25.2000 0047437 131.9159 228.6160 15.64365000 05 Predictions tonight should be accurate to within a minute or so in time. It occurs to me that I omitted this object in my reply to your query the other day about missing satellites; it seems I focused only on payloads, and forgot about this one. Anyway, it is great that you spotted the object and made accurate observations.
