    A more conservative analysis of USA 129, in which rate of decay, eccentricity
    and argument of perigee remained fixed, yielded this result, which I suspect
    will prove closer to the truth:
    
    USA 129         15.0  3.0  0.0  5.3 v                   278 X 1014 km
    1 24680U 96072A   05307.77839189  .00011300  00000-0  15000-3 0    08
    2 24680  97.9103   9.2947 0524422  68.9164 296.7280 14.73780656    06
    Arc 2005 Oct 28.86 - Nov 03.84, WRMS residuals = 0.015 deg
    
    This solution indicates a normal reboost, apparently near perigee on 2005 Oct
    13, at 11:33 UTC.
