COMMENTS:        SWIFT-BAT GRB Coordinates.  
COMMENTS:        This Notice was delayed by more than 90 sec; probably due to it occurring during a Malindi downlink session.  
COMMENTS:        This is an image trigger.  (The RATE_SIGNIF & BKG_{INTEN, TIME, DUR} are undefined.)  
COMMENTS:        A point_source was found.  
COMMENTS:        This matches a source in the on-board catalog.  
COMMENTS:        This does not match any source in the ground catalog.  
COMMENTS:        This is not a GRB.  
COMMENTS:        This is an interesting source.  
COMMENTS:        The IMAGE_SIGNIF is VERY LOW, this is almost certainly not real.
