The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB

At 23:51:46 UT on 27 Jul 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 240727A (trigger 743817111.069264 / 240727994).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 115.5, Dec = -33.0 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 07h 42m, -33d 00'), with a statistical uncertainty of 6.0 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 22.0 degrees.
