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

At 18:25:12 UT on 8 Aug 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 250808A (trigger 776370317.484496 / 250808768).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 62.8, Dec = -16.8 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 04h 11m, -16d 48'), with a statistical uncertainty of 7.1 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 33.0 degrees.
