This would appear to be a new find. The orbital elements are a good
match to 1967-040F, except for the mean anomaly; these objects appear
to have drifted apart a lot. And the new guy is nearly three magnitudes
fainter than the Vela booster.
We've seen a similar bit that fell off the Vela booster 1969-046F
several times.
