    At 01:34:16 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 170912 ***A*** (trigger=772006).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 167.372, -54.360 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 11h 09m 29s
       Dec(J2000) = -54d 21' 34"
    with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including 
    systematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve showed a [**double-peaked**]
    structure with a duration of about TTT sec.  The peak count rate
    was ~2449 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~1 sec after the trigger.
