When I returned to 12x60s in the low SE, I noticed they were joined by 22784, a Meteor r/b, in a neat little obtuse triangle, like NOSS triplets used to be, until 22784 was left behind by the faster pair. Cool! Also saw 26186 (as an UNID), and 24938 (predicted) low fast debris from CBERS-1 r/b and SL-12 r/b respectively.
