Abstract Using Swift/XRT, the Galactic globular cluster Terzan 5 was observed on 17 April 2016. During this observation, we found that the X-ray flux originating from this cluster was significantly above the normal cluster background, indicating that a possible X-ray transient was active during this XRT observation.
