Interesting track - seems like a circle to land, followed by a missed, followed by a short approach for the 2nd shot???
Maybe, or one approach broken off early, one missed, and then one close in pattern to touchdown??

Interesting looking at the vertical data in the link, enters the area enroute at 20 k, descends to 17,800, then back up to 21K, then down to 12,500, then back up to 15,900, then down to 9,200 ft, end of data (KASE field elevation 7800 ft)
