Scientific paper

The Large Area Telescope (LAT), one of two instruments on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (formerly GLAST) (launched June 11, 2008) has detected a strong and short increase of gamma-rays from a sky position consistent with the blazar AO 0235+164 (RA = 39.66 deg; Dec = +16.62 deg; z=0.94). The flare occurred on Oct. 14, 2008 and the preliminary flux measurement was (5+/-2)E-6 ph/cm^2/s with 30% systematic uncertainty in a 6 hour period (12-18 UTC), which significantly exceeds the the public announcement flux threshold of 2E-6 ph/cm^2/s (E>100 MeV).
