We obtained a spectrum of ASASSN-14jg (ATel #6637) on 2014 November 2 (UT) with the robotic FLOYDS instrument mounted on the Faulkes Telescope South. Using Superfit (Howell et al. 2005, ApJ 634, 1190) we find a good fit to the Type Ia SN 1999aa near peak at the redshift of the proposed host galaxy (z=0.0148; via NED).
