F. E. Marshall (NASA/GSFC), D. M. Palmer (LANL) and
B. Sbarufatti (INAF-OAB/PSU) report on behalf of the Swift Team:

At 02:19:15 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
located GRB 160714A (trigger=704310).  Swift did not slew immediately
due to an observational constraint. 
The BAT on-board calculated location is 
RA, Dec 234.461, +63.831 which is 
   RA(J2000) = 15h 37m 51s
   Dec(J2000) = +63d 49' 53"
with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including 
systematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve showed a single-peaked
structure with a duration of about 0.5 sec.  The peak count rate
was ~2000 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0.3 sec after the trigger. 

Due to an observing constraint, Swift will not slew until T0+26.0
minutes. There will be no XRT or UVOT data until this time. 

Burst Advocate for this burst is M. H. Siegel (siegel AT swift.psu.edu). 
Please contact the BA by email if you require additional information
regarding Swift followup of this burst. In extremely urgent cases, after
trying the Burst Advocate, you can contact the Swift PI by phone (see
Swift TOO web site for information: http://www.swift.psu.edu/too.html.)
