Case 16; This case is representative of several we've had during the year
in that although the motion is satellite-like, identification with a knom
satellite has not been made. Committee is worried about the existence of
too many of these cases and wonders why, since SPADATS is in existence and
many millions of dollars are spent yearly on tracking all satellites,
SPADATS can't make positive identification of these cases. Why not?
