After Russell Eberst made two observations of a mag +8 unid satellite on the morning of 1999 February 8, I followed his hunch that it was one of the 83-56 (NOSS 5) objects, perhaps 83-56C lost late in 1997. This morning February 10, I was able to make further observations, as follows: IntlId SiteYYMMDDHHMMSSss Sss TCHHMMmm DDMMm Mm E 8305603267599021006144734 010 12083995 +44225 2 5 8305603267599021006151282 010 12082745 +49363 15 5 8305603267599021006165536 010 12061848 +69159 1 5 8305603267599021006172784 010 12043322 +72265 15 5 8305603267599021006182225 010 12015366 +69164 2 5 8305603267599021006185955 010 12005254 +63590 2 5 999 Here is an accurate orbit for it, all elements determined apart from i and ndot.
