Time, 5:15:45 UT, 1 August 2018

RA:  20:51.1
Dec: -05:51.8

Location, Falcon CO USA
Longitude:  104.5619 W
Latitude:   38.9481 N
Elevation: 2073 meters

Object #43562, 18059A

Elset epoch:  18213.1205

It was roughly one minute late on this elset using SatFlare.
A recent maneuver occurred raising the apogee and reducing
the inclination to near zero.

I don't have an online source to refine the RA/Dec and obtain
visual magnitude although a rough estimate is 10-11.

I also do not see a way to rule out another satellite.
