F. E. Marshall (NASA/GSFC) and P. D'Avanzo (INAF-OAB)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
Continuing Swift/UVOT observations of the field of GRB 161214B
(D'Avanzo et al., GCN Circ. 20257) show that the single source
consistent with the XRT position (Goad et al. GCN Circ. 20264)
reported by Marshall and D'Avanzo (GCN Circ. 20261) brightened
to 17.89 mag in white and then subsequently dimmed by more than
1 magnitude. This confirms the detection of the afterglow
reported by Kugel (GCN Circ. 20262), Klotz et al. (GCN Circ. 20263
