    At 22:58:59 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 180208 ***A*** (trigger=809217).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 20.786, +7.444 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 01h 23m 09s
       Dec(J2000) = +07d 26' 38"
    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 ~1312 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~-1 sec after the trigger.
