and E. Troja (U Leicester/INAF-IASFPA) report on behalf of the Swift
Team:
Shortly before 2008-03-18 01:50 UT, Swift lost star tracker lock.
This caused the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) to detect Sco X-1 at the
wrong location, leading to trigger 306745. This is not a GRB.
Star tracker recovery operations are in progress.
