P. A. Evans (U Leicester), C. Gronwall (PSU), R. Gupta (NASA GSFC) and
A. Y. Lien (U Tampa) report on behalf of the Neil Gehrels Swift
Observatory Team:

BAT trigger 1500287 is not a GRB, but was caused by a solar flare.

Swift's automatic slews are currently disabled, so there will be no XRT or UVOT data for this trigger.
