report on behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Team:
After analysis of the full dataset, we have determined that trigger=1116172 (reported as possible GRB 220714A in GCN#32391)
is not an astrophysical event. Instead, a known race condition in the onboard software caused the currently-active source Cen X-3 to be misidentified.
