Subject: PLANET ANOMALY ALERT: OGLE-1999-BUL-25 (MACHO 99-BLG-35)
From:    The PLANET Collaboration

Dear Colleagues,

The PLANET collaboration has detected an anomaly in the on-going 
microlensing event OGLE-1999-BUL-25 (also MACHO 99-BLG-35). 
Recent PLANET observations show the event to have brightened by 
2.7 magnitudes in 17 hours. The event has now fallen by more than  
2 magnitudes with a curvature that suggests the event has just 
undergone a caustic crossing.

Event:		 OGLE 1999-BUL-25 (=MACHO 99-BLG-35) 
RA  (J2000):	 17:59:41.14
Dec (J2000):	-28:47:18.4

Observations, both photometric and spectrographic are encouraged.
