The Large Area Telescope (LAT), one of the two instruments on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, has observed an increasing gamma-ray flux from a source positionally consistent with the "BL Lac" object PKS 0426-380 (RA: 04h28m40.4242s, Dec: -37d56m19.579s, J2000; z=1.11; Heidt et al., 2004). Preliminary analysis indicates that the source on January 2, 2010 was in a high state with a gamma-ray flux (E>100MeV) of (1.4+/-0.3)x10^-6 photons cm^-2 s^-1 (error is statistical only).
