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 blazar PKS 0244-470 (RA: 02h44m13.46s, DEC: -47d03m51.9s , J2000, Mauch T. et al. 2003, MNRAS,342, 1117, z=1.385 A.Abdo et al. 2010 arXiv:1002.0150). Preliminary analysis indicates that the source on 12 Feb 2010 was in a high state with a gamma-ray flux (E>100MeV) of (1.0 +/- 0.2) x 10^-6 ph cm^-2 s^-1 (statistical uncertainty only).
