    At 02:11:44 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 180404 ***A*** (trigger=821902).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 53.384, -50.195 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 03h 33m 32s
       Dec(J2000) = -50d 11' 41"
    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 ~9195 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~9 sec after the trigger.
