Scientific paper

An extremely short-lived transient X-ray source has been detected with the SAS-3 satellite at a high galactic latitude (about -51 deg). The source, designated MX 2346-65, had a duration of between 45 s and 2200 s as well as a very hard spectrum. This source had not been detected in previous sky surveys and was not seen again by SAS-3 in 7 days of further periodic observations. Possible explanations of this type of event are discussed.
