J.A. Kennea, D.N. Burrows (PSU) report on behalf of the Swift/XRT Team:

We have analysed the downlinked data on GRB 050802 (GCN 3734) and have 
found a fading uncatalogued X-ray source at the following coordinates:

RA (J2000): 14:37:05.8,
Dec(J2000): 27:47:05.6,

with an error radius of 8 arcseconds (90% containment). This source is 87 
arcseconds from the BAT position reported in GCN 3734. Further detailed 
analysis of XRT data will be reported in a later GCN.
