Quick-look analysis shows that it lasted 1.1\nmin, with a rise time of 0.1 min. The 10-28 to 2-10 keV hardness ratio\nis similar to the X-ray rich GRBs like 981226 and type-I X-ray\nbursters. The Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor covered this event, but no\nobvious signal was detected. We strongly suspect that this is an X-ray\nrich GRB or X-ray flash rather than an X-ray burst because 1) the time\nprofile is unusual for an X-ray burst; 2) there is no evidence for\nsoftening in the decay; 3) the galactic latitude of -44.2 deg is\nunusual for an X-ray burst. We strongly encourage follow-up\nobservations. The refined WFC position is:\n\nR.A. =  22h09m33.6s (332.3900 deg)\nDec. = -65d19m36.6s (-65.3268 deg)\n\n(Eq. 2000.0) with an error radius of 3 arcmin (99% confidence).",
