Barthelmy (GSFC), J. Cummings (GSFC/ORAU), E. Fenimore (LANL), N. Gehrels (GSFC), H. Krimm (GSFC/USRA), C. Markwardt (GSFC/UMD), D. Palmer (LANL), A. Parsons (GSFC), T. Sakamoto (GSFC/ORAU), G. Sato (GSFC/ISAS), M. Stamatikos (GSFC/ORAU), J. Tueller (GSFC) 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.
