Kocevski (NASA MSFC) report on behalf of the Fermi-LAT team:\n\nAt 22:27:43.10 UT on August 08, 2017, Fermi-LAT detected high-energy emission from GRB 170808B, which was also detected by Fermi-GBM (Veres and Meegan GCN 21429). \nThe best LAT on-ground location is found to be\nRA, Dec  145.66, 2.18 deg, J2000\nwith an error radius of 0.34 deg (90% containment, statistical error only). This was 69 deg from the LAT boresight at the time of the trigger and triggered an autonomous repoint of the spacecraft.\nThe data from the Fermi-LAT show a significant increase in the event rate that is spatially and temporally correlated with the GBM detection with high significance.\nThe highest-energy photon is a 1.62 GeV event which is observed 162 seconds after the GBM trigger.\nA Swift ToO has been requested for this burst.\nThe Fermi-LAT point of contact for this burst is Francesco Longo (francesco.longo@ts.infn.it).\nThe Fermi-LAT is a pair conversion telescope designed to cover the energy band from 20 MeV to greater than 300 GeV. It is the product of an international collaboration between NASA and DOE in the U.S. and many scientific institutions across France, Italy, Japan and Sweden.\n\n[GCN OPS NOTE(09aug17):  Per author's request, the extraneous url listed in the original distribution has been removed.]",
