The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely SHORT GRB
At 14:11:43 UT on 21 Dec 2020, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 201221B (trigger 630252708.014426 / 201221591).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 110.6, Dec = 32.0 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 07h 22m, 32d 00'), with a statistical uncertainty of 4.1 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 14.0 degrees.

report on behalf of the Insight-HXMT team:
At 2020-12-21T14:11:43.00 (T0), Insight-HXMT/HE detected
GRB 201221B (trigger ID: HEB201221591) in a routine search of the data,
which also triggered Fermi/GBM (GCN #29101).
The Insight-HXMT/HE light curve mainly consists of a single
pulse with a duration (T90) of 0.03 s measured from T0-0.00 s.
The 1-ms peak rate, measured from T0-0.005 s, is 9739 cnts/sec.
The total counts from this burst is 193 counts.

All measurements above are made with the CsI detectors operating in the
regular mode with the energy range of about 80-800 keV (deposited energy).
Only gamma-rays with energy greater than about 200 keV can penetrate
the spacecraft and leave signals in the CsI detectors installed inside
of the telescope.
Insight-HXMT is the first Chinese space X-ray telescope, which was
funded jointly by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) and
the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
