UFO 4 (USA 108) — Live Satellite Tracking (NORAD 23467)
Track UFO 4 (USA 108) (NORAD catalog number 23467) live on the WatchSat interactive 3D globe above. Its position is propagated in real time from the latest CelesTrak two-line element set using the SGP4/SDP4 orbital model — the same math professional trackers run. It has been on orbit since 1995, launched on the 3rd orbital launch of that year (COSPAR designation 1995-003A). As of this element set it had completed roughly 11,577 revolutions of Earth.
Moving at about 3.08 km/s, UFO 4 (USA 108) flies a geosynchronous orbit roughly 35,786 km up: its 23.9-hour period matches Earth's rotation, but at 9.7° inclination it is not geostationary — seen from the ground it traces a daily figure-eight around a fixed longitude, swinging about 10° north and south of the equator. The orbit is essentially circular (eccentricity 0.0003). Its near-equatorial 9.7° inclination keeps it above the tropics at all times. Its orbital plane crosses the equator northbound at right ascension 12.8°.

Can you see UFO 4 (USA 108) from the ground?
Not with the naked eye. At its altitude UFO 4 (USA 108) is far beyond unaided visibility — following satellites this high takes a telescope and good timing. You can still track it precisely in the live 3D view above, or check pass predictions for your location.
