Following the Swift/BAT announcement of a new strong outburst of the Be transient GRO J1008-57 (Krimm et al., ATEL #1298), the source was observed twice with RXTE, on 2007 November 22, 01:20UT (MJD 54426.001) for 560 seconds, and on 2007 November 23, 19:23UT (MJD 54427.808), for 2850 seconds. Between the observations, the 2-10 keV flux rose from 2.09×10-9 erg cm-2 s-1 (104mCrab) to 2.47×10-9 erg cm-2 s-1 (125mCrab).
