Data concerning a fast X ray transient observed by the HEAO 1 on March 17, 1978 are discussed. The object, labeled H0547-14, was located in Lepus, with galactic coordinates 219.37 deg longitude, b = -20.12 deg in the anticenter direction. A 10 sec scan of the transient was obtained with proportional counter detectors. An X ray luminosity of more than 5.1 x 10 to the 31st ergs/sec was measured as a lower limit, with the decay taking 17 min. A lower limit to the flare was set at 30 sec. The flux intensity resided in the range 4.4/1 billion-4/100 million erg/sq cm per sec, with a rise time of a factor of 10 in about 5 sec. Possible characterizations of the object, as either a gamma ray burst or as an M dwarf star, are discussed.
