V. Chaplin (UAH) reports on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team:

�The Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) trigger 257971733
(trigger id 090305784) at 18:48:51.68 UT
on 05 March 2009, tentatively classified as a GRB, is in fact not due
to a GRB. It appears that this trigger was caused by a background  
fluctuation."
