K. L. Page (U Leicester) report on behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift
Observatory Team:

As of 22:45 UT, Swift continues to have star tracker loss-of-lock problems. Swift
triggers 1192740, 1192742 and 1192743 are also not astrophysical events. As a 
reminder, please verify that the Swift GCN notices do not have the comment 

COMMENTS:        This trigger occured while the StarTracker had lost lock, so it is possibly bogus.  

before assuming an event is real. Further retraction circulars will not be published until the loss-of-lock problem is cleared.
