Fine. If we had the serial number now ...  ;)

According to the video a Sylda type object should also be found in orbit

Interesting. So perhaps the third object is the adapter, and the YZ-1S did deorbit

Edit: was there a NOTAM in the Indian / Southern Ocean region?

Exact liftoff time was 02:43:03.812 UTC.
According to here this launch used CZ-2C s/n Y38 and YZ-1S s/n Y1.

There are five objects in orbit: two satellites, a rocket, a YZ-1S unit, and a conical adapter?

Is that a confirmed knowledge or guess? I see only three catalogued objects which probably are two satellites and the adapter. The CZ-2C second stage could be suborbital, and YZ-1S could have been deorbited as well.
This message reflects my personal opinion based on open sources of information.

This is an assumption.

Yes indeed Jonathan, there was a corresponding NOTAM for the Southern Indian Ocean!

I believe Igor is correct and your assumption is wrong. The description of YZ-1S makes it fairly clear that CZ-2C
stage 2 was suborbital, and it seems very likely that the YZ-1S was deorbited over the Antarctic on the first orbit

Yes I agree. It says here that after completing the YZ-1S mission, it returns to the atmosphere to avoid the appearance of space debris. It turns out in orbit remained an adapter and two satellites.

避免产生太空垃圾
作为一个负责任的航天企业,火箭院在研制远征系列上面级时,采用“离轨”加“钝化”的方式,避免产生太空垃圾。
所谓“离轨”是指上面级在结束任务后,为了不占用宝贵的轨道资源,离开原来工作的目标轨道,飞行到一个废弃轨道上,这样便不会威胁到其它在轨航天器的飞行安全。
