The OGLE-IV Transient Search (Wyrzykowski et al. ATEL #4495, Kozlowski et al. 2013)
reports the discovery of 7 new on-going candidates for supernovae and one candidate for a nova.
Most of them appeared near or on top of apparent galaxies
and their light curves resemble those of supernovae before or near their peak brightness.
