Hello all,
No ID for this object, though it _could_, with enough
non-gravs, _maybe_ be a recrudescence of ZTF0G7b = ZTF0GJ3
from 2020 Nov 11-20. There is not enough data to be certain
that it's an ETBO, but most of ZTF's one-day junk turns out
to be ETBOs.
I've computed short-term TLEs and pushed them to GitHub.
With an uncertainty in mean anomaly of 2.4 degrees/day, these
will not be good for very long. But maybe ZTF, or somebody,
will pick it up tomorrow.
