The long-duration GRB 191027A
(Fermi-GBM detection: The Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 26078;
BALROG localization: Biltzinger et al., GCN Circ. 26079)
was detected by Fermi (GBM trigger 593882352), Konus-Wind,
INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), Mars-Odyssey (HEND),
and Swift (BAT), at about 55148 s UT (15:19:08).
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:
    186.657 (12h 26m 38s) +30.957 (+30d 57' 25")
   Corners:
    166.009 (11h 04m 02s) +19.308 (+19d 18' 27")
    202.558 (13h 30m 14s) +30.844 (+30d 50' 39")
    206.169 (13h 44m 40s) +29.642 (+29d 38' 31")
    170.349 (11h 21m 24s) +23.297 (+23d 17' 48")
   ---------------------------------------------
The error box area is about 7.5 sq. deg, and its maximum
dimension is 37.7 deg (the minimum one is 13.0 arcmin).
The Sun distance was about 42 deg.

This box may be improved.

The IPN localization is consistent with, but reduces the area of, the
Fermi-GBM one.

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