O. Godet, K. Page, J.P. Osborne (U. Leicester), J. Kennea (PSU) and D.
Burrows (PSU) report on behalf of the Swift XRT team:
The XRT began observing at 11:28:54 UT, 99 seconds after the BAT
trigger (BAT trigger 155072). The postage stamp image looks like a
cosmic ray rather than an X-ray source. The XRT light-curve terminated
after 2.7 seconds, before the spacecraft entered the SAA.
