Vetere (ASDC) report on behalf of the\nSwift Team:\n\nAt 01:28:03 UT 29 March 2006, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope\n(BAT) triggered and located a bright burst from SGR 1900+14\n(trigger=203109).  Swift was already pointed at this\nSoft Gamma-ray Repeater and taking data with the XRT and UVOT.\nThe BAT on-board calculated location is\nRA,Dec 286.802, +9.329 {19h 07m 12s, +09d 19' 43\"} (J2000)\nwith an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including\nsystematic uncertainty), consistent with the known SGR location\n(1 arcmin).  The BAT light curve shows a single intense spike of\nwidth 128 ms with 15,000 counts in the brightest 128 ms bin\n(15-100 keV) with no evidence for emission above 100 keV.\n\nThis marks the 13th and brightest identified burst from this\nsource in its current episode of activity, and the 6th to\noccur during pointed observations.",
