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

Swift-BAT trigger 1212791 is also related to the ongoing star tracker loss-of-lock event, and is not astrophysically of interest. 

We also note that there was an earlier trigger (1212786) for which all TDRSS messages were lost, so no prompt alert was sent; this was also not astrophysical.
