The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB

At 22:18:43 UT on 29 Dec 2021, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 211229B (trigger 662509128.09648 / 211229930).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 185.0, Dec = -18.4 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 12h 20m, -18d 23'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.1 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 59.0 degrees.
