With that assumption, the mean motion indicates a drift to the west of about 1/7 degree per day. The inclination of 7 degrees would indicate that this object was launched over 10 years ago (wild guess). Its brightness would indicate a very large object if it's not flaring. Ed could see a couple of flaring geosyncs with his unaided eyes last night from BCRC in between the cirrus clouds.
