The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
"At 07:48:06.71 UT on 28 October 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 251028B (trigger 783330491/251028325).
This trigger was initially classified as Distant Particles by the flight software,
but is in fact a GRB.
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data,
is RA = 337.82, Dec = 45.75 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 22h 31m, +45d 45'),
with a statistical uncertainty of 3.69 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 119 degrees.
