The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely SHORT GRB
"At 20:21:03.83 UT on 22 August 2026, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB260822B (trigger 809122868/260822848).
This trigger was initially classified as Below horizon by the flight software,
but is in fact a GRB.
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data,
is RA = 173.93, Dec = 18.48 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 11h 35m, +18d 28'),
with a statistical uncertainty of 6.94 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 102 degrees.
