J. R. Cummings (NASA/UMBC/CRESST) on behalf of the Swift team:
We have analyzed BAT event data from trigger 332287 (Lyons et al.
GCN# 8392). We cannot improve the weak peak in the image domain
at the position of the source that was reported onboard. We see a
weak peak from Cyg X1 in an image at the trigger time, and a weak
peak in the maskweighted lightcurve at the position of Cyg X1. We
conclude that the trigger was due to a weak burst from Cyg X1 and
a chance peak in the image domain, and not from a GRB.
