Previously, I've posted geocentric elements. During much of November, J002E3 was outside the "sphere of influence" of the earth, and Find_Orb accordingly shifted to heliocentric elements. Now it's coming back toward us, and (as seen above) Find_Orb is generating geocentric elements (and TLEs) again.
Be warned that the satellite motion model for TLEs was never really meant to handle objects in orbits like this. You'll get passably decent positions from TLEs over periods of a few days, but not really as good as we might like.

Ephemeris problem fixed: Those who have been keeping track of this page may know that, for most of October and December, I've been providing elements based on a truncated arc (just the last few weeks worth of observations.) The reason was that, when I attempted to load longer arcs for this object into Find_Orb, I got ugly residuals.
This is now fixed. The problem was embarrassingly simple: a very slight error in the mass of the Earth used in the program! This would never normally get noticed, but this is an extremely abnormal object.
If you are using Find_Orb, you may want to get the current version of the software, with the Earth mass bug fixed. (Be aware that I've not seen any other object affected by this bug. Asteroids and comets don't linger for weeks near the Earth, and you generally don't have a long enough arc for an artificial satellite to see the effects of this bug.)
After fixing this, I'm able to fit all observations, including the June precovery ones. The "best fit" value for solar radiation pressure is now 7.011x10-5 times that of the sun's inward gravitational pull, which matches the results obtained by Steve Chesley at JPL. (Previous to the fix for the earth's mass, I was getting an SRP factor of almost twice this, with weird variations depending on how much of the orbital arc was loaded.)
The correct value of solar radiation pressure indicates a ratio of area to mass (AMR) of about 0.00902 m2/kg, which is reasonable for an empty S-IVB stage.
Be aware that you can generate customized ephemerides for this object (and many others) using JPL's Horizons system. This has the advantage of allowing you to select your observing viewpoint and time span.
"Sphere of influence" defined: If an object is very close to a planet, it obviously makes sense to give planetocentric orbital elements. If it's far away from any planet, it obviously makes sense to give heliocentric orbital elements. The question naturally arises: where does it make sense to switch from one to another? In other words, how far out does a planet's "sphere of influence" extend?
It's not difficult to figure this out from first principles. J M A Danby shows the math in Fundamentals of Celestial Mechanics, pp. 352-353. Basically, for a planet of mass m orbiting a sun of mass M at distance R, you should use planetocentric elements within a distance
r = R (m/M)2/5
Within that distance, using planetocentric elements (and ignoring solar perturbations) leads to smaller short-term errors than using heliocentric elements (and ignoring the planet's perturbations.) This leads to the earth's sphere of influence extending to about .0062 AU, or about 2.5 times the average Earth-Moon distance. As the ephemerides show, J002E3 regularly ducks within this radius near perihelion, and (usually) ducks outside of it at aphelion.
Acknowledgments: My thanks go to Steve Chesley, who gave me quite a few thoughts early on in this process as to how the solar radiation pressure ought to figure in and where I might be going wrong. In particular, that saved me from wasting a lot of time looking at parts of the software which, as it turned out, were perfectly okay.
Also, my thanks to the observers. Having a lot of data made it easier to spot some patterns in the residuals; that was what eventually tipped me off as to where the problem in Find_Orb really was.
