Abstract

Context. Since the early 1990s, gamma ray bursts (GRB) have been accepted to be of extra-Galactic origin because of the isotropic distribution observed by BATSE and the redshifts observed via absorption line spectroscopy. Nevertheless, upon closer examination at least one case turned out to be of Galactic origin. This particular event presented a fast rise and exponential decay (FRED) structure, which leads us to believe that other FRED sources might also be Galactic.
