We report the following transients found by the ATLAS survey (see Tonry et al. ATel #8680). ATLAS is a twin 0.5m telescope system on Haleakala and Mauna Loa. The first unit is operational on Haleakala is robotically surveying the sky. Two filters are used, cyan and orange (denoted c and o, all mags in AB system), more information is on http://www.fallingstar.com. All transients have been registered with the IAU.

Host galaxy identifications and redshifts are from NED or the Pan-STARRS1 3Pi image stack, and absolute magnitude calculations include an estimate of Milky Way foreground extinction at the filter wavelength.
