I believe this is object 90085.

It was tracked in 2009 and 2010 until May 29, 2010.

Then it was seen by Kevin Fetter on Sept 28, 2012.

If my analysis is correct, then the current orbit should
be something like this:

Unknown 091017
1 90085U 09790A   14122.98240885 0.00010443  00000-0  81993-3 0    09
2 90085  25.1801 247.8806 6710559 190.2189 150.5713  3.05958670    04

Of course the mean motion is somewhat uncertain.

It could be in error by 5 minutes per day.
