Data from the first complete pass of the sky by the sky survey experiment on HEAO 1 were systematically searched for fast transient events of less than a few hours duration. Seven new transient events were found with fluxes of ≡10-10ergs cm-2s-1, supplementing three brighter events which were previously reported. Of the total of 10 HEAO A-1 transients, four are identified with active coronal sources: three flare stars (EV Lac, AT Mic, and EQ Vir) and one RS CVn system (HD 8357). The remaining sources are unidentified. One of the new, unidentified transients may be a second candidate for X-ray emission from a faint gamma-ray burst.
