report on behalf of the Fermi-GBM Team:

"We report that the following list of Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggers
tentatively classified as GRBs, are in fact not GRBs. We believe these triggers are due to
LS V +44 17 / RX J0440.9+4431, a source that has been recently brightening and will
likely produce more triggers in the following days."
