    I am wondering if anyone noticed this:
    
    Catalog #33598 has parameters similar to Cosmos 2251 debris, and even has the International number of 93-036.
    However, it is labeled in SpaceTrack as "BREEZE M R/B".
    
    Notice the previous cataloged object (33597) is "BREEZE M DEB (TANK)" but its parameters are nothing like 33598's.
    
    Did SpaceTrack mislabel 33598?  I'm guessing that they did, and it should actually read "COSMOS 2251 DEB".
