COMMENTS:        SWIFT-XRT Coordinates.  
COMMENTS:        This Notice is generated as a result of an uploaded TOO -- this is not a normal BAT-detected burst.  
COMMENTS:        And the IMG_START_DATE/TIME fields are the current epoch -- not the original detection.  
COMMENTS:        The object found at this position is either a very bright burst or a cosmic ray hit.  
COMMENTS:        Examine the XRT Image to differentiate (CRs are much more compact; see examples at:
