Nysewander, and A. LaCluyze, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, on behalf of the CHASE project, report the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag approximately 15.8) on an unfiltered image taken on Jan. 5.30 UT with the 0.41-m 'PROMPT 5' telescope located at Cerro Tololo. The new object, which was confirmed at mag approximately 15.4 in an image taken with the 'PROMPT 5' telescope on Jan. 7.26, is located at R.A. = 11:17:54.88 ± 0".3, Decl. = -2:05:45.2 ± 0".3 (equinox 2000.0), which is about 1".4 west and 14".4 south of the center of the galaxy UGC 6311. Nothing is visible at this position on archival images taken on 2010 May 4.05 and Dec. 17.30 (limiting mag 18.0).
