Gehrels (GSFC),  report on behalf of the Swift XRT team:\n\nThe Swift BAT instrument detected GRB 050318 at 15:44:37 UT on 18 March\n2005 (Krimm et al 2005, GCN 3111).  The BAT position was within the Swift \nEarth horizon constraint.  The observatory executed an automated slew to \nthe BAT position and the XRT began taking data in Auto State  at 16:39:14 \nUT.  Swift did not have contact with the ground station until about 22:29 \nUT.  On receiving the data at Penn State, a preliminary analysis was \nperformed by the XRT team.  We find a bright uncataloged, rapidly fading \nX-ray source located at:\n\nRA(J2000) = 03:18:50.8,\nDec(J2000) = -46:23:45.1.\n\nWe estimate an uncertainty of about 6 arcseconds.   This source is 87\narcseconds from the BAT position reported in GCN 3111.",
