MASTER OT J113218.1-301832.6 - AGN outburst, ampl>4.1m for 6 days
MASTER-OAFA auto-detection system ( Lipunov et al., "MASTER Global Robotic Net", Advances in Astronomy, 2010, 30L )
discovered OT source at (RA, Dec) = 11h 32m 18.1s -30d 18m 32.6s at 2018-07-08 01:46:27.095UT.
The OT unfiltered magnitude is 14.7m (mlim=18.6).
There is the following automatic photometry

3mag amplitude for 5 days (from 01 July to 06 Jul) excludes red star nature (see J-K~2.6 in VIZIER), so we suggest just the AGN outburst ("AGN candidates from the WISE, 2MASS" Edelson+, 2012)
Spectral observations are required.
