The OGLE-IV Transient Search (Wyrzykowski et al. ATEL #4495, Kozlowski et al. 2013)
reports the discovery of 11 new on-going candidates for transients.
Most of them appeared near or on top of apparent galaxies
and their light curves resemble those of supernovae near or after their peak brightness.
This ATel also marks the beginning of the new observing season 2014/2015 for the OGLE-IV Transients Search.
