The Swift/BAT hard X-ray survey (ATEL #668, ATEL #669) reports the detection of 3 sources near the galactic plane, including two with possible SNR counterparts. The BAT error circle for these weak sources is ~6 arcmin radius. Transient sources are likely and without a better position, a firm identification of these sources is not possible. Swift/XRT observations are planned. We are requesting observations at all wavelengths to identify these sources.
