TITLE: GCN CIRCULAR
NUMBER: 17060
SUBJECT: Swift Trigger 618391 is not an astrophysical event

S. D. Barthelmy (GSFC) and D. M. Palmer (LANL) report on behalf of the
Swift Team:
At 04:21:55, BAT made an image trigger while the Swift
had lost star tracker lock. As a result, it mistakenly
identified Sco X-1 as a new source. Due to a Sun constraint,
Swift will not slew to the calculated position and
current observations will not be affected.
