That's a very low velocity object with a small estimated diameter -- I 
wonder if it isn't another "lost" upper stage that's been in an 
almost-congruent orbit for a long time and just now getting synchronized 
again enough to come close.  The white paint on those rocket stages 
makes them look much, much larger than they are if you have an 
assumption they're almost black like a chondrite asteroid.
