The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB
At 01:47:07 UT on 14 May 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 240514A (trigger 737344032.404712 / 240514074).
The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 44.5, Dec = 12.6 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 02h 58m, 12d 35'), with a statistical uncertainty of 3.6 degrees.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 69.0 degrees.

"The Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggers 737345659/240514093 at 02:14:14.06 UT
and 737344032/240514074 (GRB240514A) at 01:47:07.40 UT on 14 May 2024, tentatively
classified as GRBs, are in fact not due to GRBs. These triggers are likely due to an X-class Solar Flare."
