B. Sbarufatti (INAF-OAB/PSU) and T. N. Ukwatta (LANL) report on behalf
of the Swift Team:
At 21:38:08 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) detected the
commonly-seen source GRS 1915+105 (trigger=654954) but misidentified
it as different, rarely-seen source due to a known race condition
in the onboard software.
This is not an astrophysical interesting event.
