    At 02:20:36 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 240414 ***A*** (trigger=1221714).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 184.786, +56.727 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 12h 19m 09s
       Dec(J2000) = +56d 43' 37"
    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 ~2643 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~2 sec after the trigger.
