USA 259 (14081A / 40344) was about 42 s late relative its last known orbit when Peter Wakelin observed it on 2014 Dec
24. If it manoeuvred at the apogee of Dec 23 17:31:50 UTC, then this orbit would fit his observations:

                                                      2131 X 37748 km
1 70000U          14358.84097222  .00000000  00000-0  00000-0 0    05
2 70000  62.8399 211.5438 6766865 266.7073 273.0014  2.03338702    00

Merry Christmas,
