    At 13:35:19 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 210218 ***A*** (trigger=1033328).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 47.291, +35.287 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 03h 09m 10s
       Dec(J2000) = +35d 17' 14"
    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 ~1203 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~1 sec after the trigger.
