We report the discovery of a minor planet ( 2006 SQ _ { 372 } ) on an orbit with a perihelion of 24 AU and a semimajor axis of 796 AU .
Dynamical simulations show that this is a transient orbit and is unstable on a timescale of \sim 200 Myrs .
Falling near the upper semimajor axis range of the scattered disk and the lower semimajor axis range of the Oort Cloud , previous membership in either class is possible .
By modeling the production of similar orbits from the Oort Cloud as well as from the scattered disk , we find that the Oort Cloud produces 16 times as many objects on SQ _ { 372 } -like orbits as the scattered disk .
Given this result , we believe this to be the most distant long-period comet ever discovered .
Furthermore , our simulation results also indicate that 2000 OO _ { 67 } has had a similar dynamical history .
Unaffected by the “ Jupiter-Saturn Barrier , ” these two objects are most likely long-period comets from the inner Oort Cloud .
