A 38.22-s X-ray pulsator has been discovered during an 8-hour HEAO 1 pointed observation of the area of sky containing OAO 1653-40. It is found that this pulsing source is not associated with V861 Sco, the proposed optical identification for OAO 1653-40. The spectrum is very hard, the spectral index being about 1.4, with about a 500-eV equivalent width of iron-line emission. No high-energy cutoff is observed.
