    My prediction for the final two elsets:
    >Globlstar 31 r   6.0  3.0  0.0  4.5 d   19       150 x 126 km
    >1 25947U 99058E   00064.16643807  .40006679  86031+0  33184-3 0 92558
    >2 25947  51.9083 289.1235 0018351 221.1906 138.6707 16.50645266 21257
    
    Using this elset, observed around 01:38 UT 4 Mar at 8 degree elevation.
    Was rotating, perhaps 8 sec period.  Basically on time using the above
    elset.  No exact time since my watch is missing and I forgot to use the
    stopwatch.   Easy to see in binoculars.  Probably naked eye in darker
    skies.
