on behalf of the Swift-BAT team:
Using the data set from T-119 to T+183 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report that the Swift-BAT trigger (trigger=226614) at 09:58:14 UT
on 26 Aug 2006, tentatively labelled GRB 060826 (GCN 5480, Stamatikos et al.),
is not due to a GRB or any other astrophysical source. This trigger
is due to noise fluctuation in the image-domain.
