Transient source SWIFT J1656.3-3302(ATel #799) has been detected with the Swift/XRT x-ray telescope. The BAT position was observed for a total of 4.3 ks starting on 2006-06-09 at 3:32:01 UT. The position of the source (SWIFT J165616.5-330209) is RA=16 56 16.56 dec=-33 02 09.3 J2000 with an error of 3.7". SWIFT J165616.5-330209 is well fit by an absorbed power law with index 1.38+/-0.3 and absorption (3.9+/-0.17)e21 cm^-2 consistent with an extragalactic source (galactic absorption=2.2e21 cm^-2).
