Ding, Ding, Ding! I guess we have a winner ;-).
This ticks about all the boxes.

Ahhh, btw. regarding winners:
Kudos to NORAD and the radar operators for detecting these on radar and kudos to Raytheon for being able to aquire it with the seeker. Impressive. At first glance maybe a potential waste of taxpayers money. At second glance an impressive achievement if true.
