We have detected three strong optical transient in the Palomar- Quest (PQ) survey drift scans obtained at the Palomar 48-inch Samuel Oschin Telescope on 19/20/21 July 2007 UT. The transients are unresolved, and at the following J2000 coordinates: PQT070719:151221+123004 19Jul07 UT: 05:58:52 RA: 15:12:21.38 Dec: +12:30:04.0 PQT070721:221303-043900 21Jul07 UT: 08:21:22 RA: 22:13:03.91 Dec: -04:39:00.3 PQT070721:231237-051343 21Jul07 UT: 09:20:03 RA: 23:12:37.23 Dec: -05:13:43.7 For finding charts, offsets etc., please see: http://palquest.org/transients/ None of the three sources are present in the previous PQ images (reaching down to ~ 21 - 22 mag), the archival SDSS or DSS images, in NED, or the FIRST and NVSS radio surveys.
