C. Fletcher (USRA) reports on behalf of the Fermi-GBM Team:

Swift-BAT detected GRB 211207A at 20:52:56 UT (GCN 31182). There was no
Fermi-GBM onboard trigger around the event.

An automated, blind search for short gamma-ray bursts below the onboard
triggering threshold in Fermi-GBM identified no counterparts.

The GBM targeted search [1], the most sensitive, coherent search for
GRB-like signals identified a transient most significantly on the 2.048 s
timescale, with a false alarm rate of 3.2e-05 Hz and a location consistent with
the Swift-BAT event, using the standard search protocol with a S/N of 8.
The GBM targeted search event was found with the highest
significance with a "soft" spectrum (Band function with
Epeak = 70 keV, alpha = -1.9, beta = -3.7) for a GRB.
