Stella (INAF-OAR) report, on behalf of the MISTICI collaboration:\n\nWe observed the field of GRB 071227 (Sakamoto et al., GCN 7147; Sato et \nal. GCN 7148) with the ESO-VLT equipped with the FORS2 camera. A \nspectrum (grism 300V) of the galaxy inside the XRT error box (Cucchiara \n& Sakamoto GCN 7150; Berger et al. GCN 7151) taken on Dec 28.1885 (about \n8.3 hours after the burst) displays an emission line at 5154.77 A. \nInterpreting this feature as [O II] 3728 we infer a tentative redshift \nof z = 0.383 (based on a preliminary wavelength calibration).\n\nWe thank the Paranal staff for excellent support, especially Elena Valenti.",
