  "body": "The IceCube Collaboration (http://icecube.wisc.edu/) reports:\n\nOn 2019-02-05 at 21:21:44 UT IceCube issued an alert\n(https://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/notices_amon/36142391_132143.amon)\nreporting the detection of an event with a high chance of being of\nastrophysical origin. Upon further examination by the IceCube\ncollaboration, the event was found to clearly *not* be of astrophysical\norigin.\n\nThis event was a rare case of near-in-time coincident events allowing a\nclear background event to pass the contained event selections.\n\nWe apologize for any confusion this may have caused.\n\nThe IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer neutrino detector\noperating at the geographic South Pole, Antarctica. The IceCube\nrealtime-alert point of contact can be reached at roc@icecube.wisc.edu"
