Hello all,
This was found by ATLAS in Hawaii on 28 June, and immediately
looked like junk. Observations from (U52) in California confirmed that
the next night, catching it at the following apogee :

(U52) submitted three observations, and the first two have the same
time stamp. So I don't really think we have a particularly good orbit
for it, despite the low formal uncertainties on the elements. More out
of hope than any real expectation it'll be recovered, I've computed
TLEs for it and added it to Sat_ID's repertoire.
I can't tell if it's an ETBO, but it probably is.
