of the Swift Team:

At 21:58:36 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered
on a noise fluctuation while entering the SAA (trigger=424040). 
We do not believe this is anything astrophysical. 

The XRT began observing the field at 21:59:58.0 UT, 81.9 seconds after
the BAT trigger. No source was detected in the promptly available XRT
data.
