John, I believe the second object was 61015M / 127, a small piece of debris from the (unintended) explosion of the Ablestar rocket stage that inserted Transit 4A (61015A / 116) and Injun (61015B / 117) into orbit. It was the first such explosion of the Space Age; nearly 300 pieces have been catalogued.
