    At 12:01:37 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 170804 ***A*** (trigger=766194).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 6.433, -64.748 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 00h 25m 44s
       Dec(J2000) = -64d 44' 52"
    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 ~1671 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~4 sec after the trigger.
