Abstract
The Large Area Telescope (LAT), one of the two instruments on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, has observed gamma-ray flaring activity from a source positionally consistent with the blazar S3 0218+35 (also known as 2FGL J0221.0+3555, Nolan et al. 2012, ApJS, 199, 31, and B2 0218+35, OD 330, lens B0218+357) placed at radio coordinates R.A. 35.27279 deg, Dec +35.93715 deg.
