I had a paper published on a model for the GRB that would have caused that event!

http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0504158

When the GLAST (now James Webb Telescope) data came in, it pointed to a small (~1%) anisotropy of UHE GRBs toward high metalicity galaxies. Our model was completely isotropic. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to rework the anisotropy into our model's assumptions before our funding fell through.

... and that is the story of my brief experience as a scientist.
