The balloon-borne Energetic X-ray Imaging Telescope Experiment observed the Galactic center on May 9, 1989. Within the 3.4-deg (FWHM) field of view, imaged with 22-arcmin resolution at 20-250 keV, two sources were detected: the 'Einstein source' (1E1740.7-2942) and a possible second source about 40 deg West (EXS1737.9-2952). This source was detected significantly at both 20-30 keV and 83-111 keV, suggesting a double-backscattered 511 keV line source at 102 keV and a soft excess, perhaps from a black hole candidate undergoing a transient outburst.
