    Kevin says that he did not find the oobject in this orbit:
    
    Unknown 130725                  
    1 99212U 13705A   13242.06231536 0.00000234  00000-0  69124-3 0    04
    2 99212  27.9069 237.6569 7304207 356.6466   8.6181  2.17422144    06
    
    But the following also has a good fit to the obs:
    
    Unknown 130725                  
    1 99212U 13705A   13242.05839175  .00000219  00000-0  11024-2 0    04
    2 99212  27.8454 237.7603 7429205 357.3745   5.0395  2.00698931    06
    
    This would repeat every night at the same place and time.
    So it's hard to believe that it would be seen every 6 days
    unless Kevin is only looking every 6 days.
    
    But an orbit like this one does not seem impossible (but the
    fit to the obs is not very good):
    
    Unknown 130725                  
    1 99212U 13705A   13242.06100749  .00000201  00000-0  40857-3 0    01
    2 99212  27.8258 237.4395 7608012 357.0613   6.2762  1.83974879    08
