Blinov et. al., St Petersburg, Russia, reports on The Astronomer's Telegram 3700 that their optical photometric monitoring, made as a part of GASP/WEBT project, reveals fast and high amplitude brightening of BL Lac object S5 0716+714. The blazar had R=12.50 on 2011 Oct 21, 20hUT, one magnitude brighter than our previous estimate R=13.59 on 2011 Oct 18, 23hUT. At the same time Fermi LAT daily integrated light curve shows historical maximum for this object 1.5e-6 ph cm^-2s^-1 (E>100MeV). Since the optical flux is still rising, observations in all wavelengths are strongly encouraged. Optical preliminary light curve could be found here: http://www.astro.spbu.ru/staff/vlar/plots_optical/s50716r.png Editor: The NASA/IPAC extragalactic Database gives a position of: 07h 21m 53.4s DEC +71 20' 36" (2000).
