V774104 is the internal designation for the trans-Neptunian object designated {{mpl|2015 TH|367}}, but in November 2015 press releases confused it with 541132 Leleākūhonua, which was provisionally designated {{mp|2015 TG|387}} and internally designated V302126. as both objects were mentioned at the American Astronomical Society’s Division for Planetary Sciences meeting. Various news articles speculated that V774104 was currently {{Convert|103|AU|e9km|abbr=unit|lk=on}} from the Sun, but its observation arc was too short to know whether its perihelion (closest approach to the Sun) was even outside Neptune's influence.
