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

At 04:09:34 UT on 27 Oct 2022, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggered and located GRB 221027A (trigger 688536579.352978 / 221027173).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data, is RA = 189.4, Dec = -10.0 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 12h 37m, -10d 00'), with a statistical uncertainty of 1.9 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 52.0 degrees.
