Page (U Leicester), D. M. Palmer (LANL), M. H. Siegel (PSU), M. Stamatikos (NASA/ORAU), R. L. C. Starling (U Leicester) and T. N. Ukwatta (GSFC/GWU) report on behalf of the Swift Team: Around 04:58 UT on 2009-07-26, Swift lost star tracker lock, leading to misidentification of the Crab as a gamma-ray burst. Recovery operations are proceeding. However, there may be further spurious triggers from this cause in the coming minutes.
