Further to ATel#5837, here we report the classification of CRTS optical transients observed with the Keck-I+LRIS on May 26 UT. Spectra were cross-correlated using SNIDs software (Blondin and Tonry 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024) and the following results were found:

CRTS ID	Disc. Mag	Type	Match	age	z	Notes
CSS140509:161445+023534	18.6	Ia	1994ae	+9	0.08
CSS140505:114217+383529	18.8	Ia-91bg	1991bg	+19	0.05	1

 
Notes: 1, spectrum appears highly reddened.  

All CRTS transients are discovered within minutes of observation and openly published to VOEvent network subscribers (such as http://Skyalert.org ). Links to all CRTS transients can be found at http://crts.caltech.edu/. We are grateful to the all the observers involved in follow-up observations.
