    At 00:11:39 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 180312 ***A*** (trigger=813771).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 275.025, +7.192 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 18h 20m 06s
       Dec(J2000) = +07d 11' 33"
    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 ~0 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~ sec after the trigger.
