    I have worked out the elements for 2005-050G and they suggest that the
    object is the 3rd stage (the orbit was very low, hence the decay the
    same day as launch). Object C's elements just came up on Space Track
    and they're for a high orbit. I have it logged right now as Cosmos
    2419, pending confirmation. The only objects not yet catalogued are E
    and F, which I presume will turn out to be the ullage motors. Object D
    I have logged as the 4th stage.
