TL;DR

Scientists propose that the strange gravitational forces affecting Neptune and Uranus in our solar system could be explained by the presence of a planet-sized object in the Oort cloud, a region beyond the Kuiper Belt. This object could have formed from clumped debris or could be an exoplanet from another system that got trapped in our solar system. The chances of either scenario are estimated to be low, but the possibility of more planets in the Oort cloud remains intriguing.
