The long soft GRB 181227A (Fermi GBM detection: Bissaldi & Veres,
GCN Circ. 23569; IPN Triangulation: Hurley et al., GCN Circ. 23577;
Konus-Wind observation: Svinkin et al., GCN Circ. 23589)
triggered the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 06:17:09.332 UTC
on 27 December 2018.
Because of a problem in one of the ground alert processing scripts,
the GCN notice was not distributed automatically for this event.

Since the burst incident direction was at ~110 deg relative
to the detector's axes, the signal is barely seen in the HXM detectors,
and it was heavily attenuated in the SGM detector.

The burst light curve shows a single emission episode which starts
at T-9.0 sec and ends at T+7.1 sec.
The T90 and the T50 durations measured by the SGM data are
13.9 +- 2.4 sec and 5.9 +- 2.3 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground processed light curve is available at

the Waseda CALET Operation Center located at the Waseda University.
