Stephen,
The celestrak TLE looks up2date with respects to the element set and revolution number, per the latest space control squadron data.

Here's what I get from nasabare.txt just now:

Here is the Celestrak TLE:
BOBCAT-1 1 46922U 98067RS 21028.16689903 .00013398 00000-0 22393-3 0 9994 2 46922 51.6444 314.0135 0000588 267.5437 92.5486 15.52237632 13027
They give very different positions.
But look, the NORAD designation is different! 46921 is actually SPOC. They names have been swapped in nasabare.txt
