    At 06:27:58 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 201128 ***A*** (trigger=1009679).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 223.136, +26.678 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 14h 52m 33s
       Dec(J2000) = +26d 40' 41"
    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 ~1679 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~2 sec after the trigger.
