    At 16:06:12 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 250322 ***A*** (trigger=1297832).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 106.734, +7.199 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 07h 06m 56s
       Dec(J2000) = +07d 11' 56"
    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 ~9289 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~0 sec after the trigger.
