    At 07:18:24 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 230720 ***A*** (trigger=1180055).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 245.960, -12.726 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 16h 23m 50s
       Dec(J2000) = -12d 43' 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 ~853 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~155 sec after the trigger.
