The Oort Cloud is primarily composed of very faint comets, which are not detectable by telescopes on earth. However, a number of larger objects resembling comets in composition have been discovered. To date these Trans-Neptunian objects are as follows:

*136108 Haumea, an object from the Kuiper belt, not strictly an Oort Cloud object. It's elongated shape is of interest to astronomers and others.
