W. Boynton, C. Fellows, K. Harshman, H. Enos, and R. Starr,
on behalf of the GRS-Odyssey GRB team, report:

A long-duration GRB 161020B has been detected by Fermi (GBM),
Konus-Wind, INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), Mars-Odyssey (HEND), and Swift (BAT)
at about 65597 s UT (18:13:17). The burst was outside the coded
field of view of the BAT.

We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box whose
coordinates are:
---------------------------------------------
  RA(2000), deg                 Dec(2000), deg
 ---------------------------------------------
 Center:
   63.105 (04h 12m 25s) -75.580 (-75d 34' 49")
 Corners:
   68.180 (04h 32m 43s) -76.773 (-76d 46' 23")
   68.921 (04h 35m 41s) -76.461 (-76d 27' 38")
   58.787 (03h 55m 09s) -74.305 (-74d 18' 18")
   57.959 (03h 51m 50s) -74.583 (-74d 35' 00")
 ---------------------------------------------
The error box area is 4250 sq. arcmin, and its maximum
dimension is 3.4 deg (the minimum one is 21 arcmin).
The Sun distance was about 90 deg.

This box may be improved.

The Konus-Wind time history and spectrum will be given in a forthcoming
GCN Circular.
