    I have newly correlated 67 objects classified as UI (unidentified) in
    Classification of Geosynchronous Objects (COGO), Issue 11, and identified
    them as a specific piece from their launch. Corrections of 5 previous
    independent identifications are proposed. This increases the total number of
    identified objects to 140, out of 152 originally reported as unidentified.
    
    My report is available here:
    
    http://satobs.org/seesat_ref/IDCOGO11/Identification_of_UI_Objects_in_COGO_11.pdf
    
    The proposed changes to the IDs we use are summarized here:

    Drafts of my findings have been circulated with key observers and analysts
    over the past couple of weeks. I believe that the emerging consensus is that
    we will wait for COGO 12 to appear (typically around February), and see what
    new identifications the experts propose, reconcile any differences with this
    study, and then switch to the adopted IDs at a time mutually convenient.
    
    Corrections and suggestions to identify remaining UI objects are welcome.
