It was a GPS unit most likely, as most of our birds up there are dying.
I eagerly await the helpful turd that posts is coordinates, so I can lok in my telescope and watch the chinese blow it out of its orbit.
Keep up the good work.
Well, if it was supposed to be a secret US military launch it was ill-conceived to launch it where thousands (if not millions) could inadvertently observe. They just did a military cargo launch out of Kodiak Island this week and gave public notice; and in Kodiak Island maybe at most few hundred people might accidentally observe.
