That was quick: US JSpOC is now tracking #FormoSat5 launched this afternoon by SpaceX from Vandenberg as NORAD ID 2017-049A/42920.
Falcon 9 boost stage on droneship Just Read the Instructions
Touchdown:Vertical Velocity (m/s): -1.47 Lateral Velocity (m/s): -0.15 Tilt (deg): 0.40 Lateral position: 0.7m from target center
Max velocity: Mach 6.9Max altitude: 247 kmHighest so far, but velocity matters much more
Probably 2m or so

Max recovered booster velocity was Mach 7.9 (BulgarianSat). Energy is velocity squared, so this is a bigger difference than it appears
