We report a confirmation of the Gaia Science Alert transients Gaia15add and Gaia15adj. Images were obtained through modified Gunn R band filter of the ECAM instrument installed on the Swiss 1.2m Euler telescope at La Silla on 2015 March 20-22. These sources are not visible in archival 2MASS and DSS images. Their proximity to neighboring galaxies makes them likely supernova candidates. 400×400 pix cutout images are provided at the links below (North is up and the scale is 0.215 arcsec/pix)
